Usage
[edit source]Since <big>...</big> is obsolete, this template may be used as a replacement for presentation markup.
It takes one parameter: The text to enlarge.
- {{big|text to make larger}}
If the value passed to the template contains an "=" (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.
