Usage
editThis template is shortcut for <big>...</big>
and makes the font larger. It takes one parameter: The text to enlarge.
{{big|text to make larger}}
If the value passed to the template contains a "=" (equals sign) character it must be done like so:
{{big|1=text to make larger}}
or the offending "=" character(s) must be replaced with =
.
This template is compatible with the {{Unicode}}, {{IPA}}, and similar templates:
{{big|{{unicode|ὡ}}}}
- Example of typical usage
Blah blah blah {{big|æ}} versus {{big|œ}} blah blah.
This looks like:
- Blah blah blah æ versus œ blah blah.
