totn HTML HTML: <small> tag

This HTML tutorial explains how to use the HTML element called the <small> tag with syntax and examples.

Description

The HTML <small> tag makes text one font size smaller in the HTML document. This tag is also commonly referred to as the <small> element.

Syntax

In HTML, the syntax for the <small> tag is:

<body> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body>

Sample Output

Attributes

Only the Global Attributes apply to the <small> tag. There are no attributes that are specific to the <small> tag.

Note

  • The HTML <small> element is found within the <body> tag.
  • The <small> tag is used to make the text one size smaller (ie: from x-large to large, large to medium, medium to small).
  • The <small> tag can not make the text smaller than the browser's minimum font size.

Browser Compatibility

The <small> tag has basic support with the following browsers:

  • Chrome
  • Android
  • Firefox (Gecko)
  • Firefox Mobile (Gecko)
  • Internet Explorer (IE)
  • Edge Mobile
  • Opera
  • Opera Mobile
  • Safari (WebKit)
  • Safari Mobile

Example

We will discuss the <small> tag below, exploring examples of how to use the <small> tag in HTML5, HTML 4.01 Transitional, XHTML 1.0 Transitional, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and XHTML 1.1.

  • HTML5
  • HTML4
  • XHTML

HTML5 Document

If you created a new web page in HTML5, your <small> tag might look like this:

<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>HTML5 Example by www.techonthenet.com</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading 1</h1> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body> </html>

In this HTML5 Document example, we have created a <small> tag that encloses the text "smaller text goes here". This text would appear one font size smaller than the text "This is a paragraph and".

HTML 4.01 Transitional Document

If you created a new web page in HTML 4.01 Transitional, your <small> tag might look like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>HTML 4.01 Transitional Example by www.techonthenet.com</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading 1</h1> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body> </html>

In this HTML 4.01 Transitional Document example, we have created a <small> tag that encloses the text "smaller text goes here". This text would appear one font size smaller than the text "This is a paragraph and".

XHTML 1.0 Transitional Document

If you created a new web page in XHTML 1.0 Transitional, your <small> tag might look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>XHMTL 1.0 Transitional Example by www.techonthenet.com</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading 1</h1> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body> </html>

In this XHTML 1.0 Transitional Document example, we have created a <small> tag that encloses the text "smaller text goes here". This text would appear one font size smaller than the text "This is a paragraph and".

XHTML 1.0 Strict Document

If you created a new web page in XHTML 1.0 Strict, your <small> tag might look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>XHTML 1.0 Strict Example by www.techonthenet.com</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading 1</h1> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body> </html>

In this XHTML 1.0 Strict Document example, we have created a <small> tag that encloses the text "smaller text goes here". This text would appear one font size smaller than the text "This is a paragraph and".

XHTML 1.1 Document

If you created a new web page in XHTML 1.1, your <small> tag might look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>XHTML 1.1 Example by www.techonthenet.com</title> </head> <body> <h1>Heading 1</h1> <p>This is a paragraph and <small>smaller text goes here</small></p> </body> </html>

In this XHTML 1.1 Document example, we have created a <small> tag that encloses the text "smaller text goes here". This text would appear one font size smaller than the text "This is a paragraph and".
