This template is a drop-in replacement for {{small}} when it is used to wrap multiple lines or a template containing <div>...</div> tags. When {{small}} wraps multiple lines, it causes Linter errors, including "Missing end tag" and "Stripped tag".

The only parameter is the content and may contain templates, images, etc. if a block needs to be wrapped in this template and contains such elements. Note that if the = character appears in the content, the parameter must be explicitly specified as |1=.

Use this template instead of {{small}} to wrap multiple lines.

When not to use this template

change

Remember to "avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes and reference sections", per MOS:ACCESS#Font size and MOS:SMALLFONT. Using this template within an infobox or a navbox reduces the text size to about 75%, which is smaller than the 85% limit prescribed by the MOS guideline.
