Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Midsize}} displays parameter 1 as mid-size text, at font-size 92%, slightly larger than Template:Small, which shows text at 85% size. The optional parameter "height=1.1" can wrap multiple lines closer together. Parameter "size=70" can set other sizes, such as "This is size-70 text".

Usage:   {{midsize|This is middle-sized text.}} → This is middle-sized text.

The line-height is also reduced so that the text wraps as less-tall lines, as in the following example of text with breaks in the lines:

  • {{midsize|This example shows multiple lines of<br>middle-sized text as being wrapped<br>
    onto multiple lines, closer together.}} →
    This example shows multiple lines of
    middle-sized text as being wrapped
    onto multiple lines, closer together.
  • {{midsize|height=0.9|This 2nd example shows multiple lines of<br>middle-sized text being wrapped<br>
    onto multiple lines, even closer together.}} →
    This 2nd example shows multiple lines of
    middle-sized text being wrapped
    onto multiple lines, even closer together.

Because many users are unaware of the style directives for changing both the font-size and the line-height attributes, then Template:Midsize provides an easy way to consistently reduce text as being middle-sized, but larger than small-font text, while also allowing "height=1.1" or "size=n" for other sizes.
