A

"big" and "small" elements are inline elements that you can use to specify text to be displayed in bigger and smaller font sizes respectively. Here are basic rules about "big" and "small" elements:

  • "big" and "small" elements are inline elements.
  • "big" and "small" elements can not be used at block level.
  • Contents of "big" elements will be displayed with a bigger font size.
  • Contents of "small" elements will be displayed with a smaller font size.

Here is a good tutorial example of "big" and "small" elements:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
  <title>BIG and SMALL Elements</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p><big>.</big><small>o</small>o<small>O</small>O<big
   >O</big>O<small>O</small>o<small>o</small
    ><big>.</big><small>o</small>o<small>O</small>O<big
   >O</big>O<small>O</small>o<small>o</small
    ><big>.</big><small>o</small>o<small>O</small>O<big
   >O</big>O<small>O</small>o<small>o</small
    ><big>.</big></p>
 </body>
