Talk: Small

Revision as of 10:17, 27 September 2010

The current usage ({{small}}Some text</small>) is non-intuitive. It should be like other templates where the affected text is the template parameter ({{small|Some text}}). —Dr Ishmael 13:16, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I don't want a template like that. If you feel the current style is unacceptable, delete the template and I'll make do without. --◄mendel► 21:38, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Uh, what? I sorta agree with Ish that having to combine two differently formatted tags is less than intuitive. Why do you feel the template benefits from this way? --JonTheMon 04:03, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

I wanted a shortcut to an adapted <small> tag, saving me typing the style out by hand, and being easier to read and less disruptive to the wikitext. If that's not intuitive enough for you, just delete it. I did think about a Template:/small , but that'd just be the </small> tag with another name, so kinda pointless.

Maybe we could solve my original problem better by adding .css for the small tag to set the line height to 130%, if you feel this would be ok to apply everywhere on the wiki. (If it works correctly, then the comparison on the template docs here should look identical.) --◄mendel► 10:17, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
