This is a documentation subpage for Template:Smaller block.
Usage
General form
This template renders one or more blocks of text in the respective smaller or larger font.
e.g. {{Smaller block|{{lorem ipsum}}}} yields
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

To modify the size of a few words within a block of text, use the appropriate inline template (<span>)—this will modify the span without breaking up the text, and without interfering in block-level properties like line spacing.
As open and close tags
This template is also available in an open and close format where the <div> needs to span a page break in the Page namespace.
- {{Smaller block/s}} to open
- {{Smaller block/e}} to close
- Example
{{Smaller block/s}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{Smaller block/e}}
yields

All Wikisource size templates are relative to the default size. There are two kinds of sizing template: inline and block templates. Inline templates are suitable for use within a paragraph, but can't handle paragraph breaks, and do not adjust line spacing. Block templates can handle paragraph breaks, and adjust line spacing, but are not suitable for use within a paragraph, as they will cause a paragraph break.
