Template:Huge/doc

Usage

This template is used to enlarge the size (but compensate for line height while doing so) in order to make diacritic marks in linguistic articles easier to discern in detail and distinguish from each other.

• {{Huge|diacritic mark to make large}}

If the value pased to the template is or contains a "=" (equals sign) character it must be done like so:

• {{Huge|1==}}

or

• {{Huge|=}}

This template is compatible with the {{Unicode}}, {{IPA}}, and similar templates:

• {{Huge|Unicode|῾}}}}

Example of typical usage

• Blah blah blah {{Huge|῾}} versus {{Huge|᾽}} blah blah.

This looks like:

• Blah blah blah ῾ versus ᾽ blah blah.

A recent revision of the template allows the size to be specified and fixes line spacing by default or allows its specification; alignment can also be altered.

{{Huge|&=|500%}}

&=

{{Huge|&<br />=|300%|0%}}

&
=

Another parameter valign can be set to "sub" (the default), or "normal" or "super"

{{Huge|sub}}supernormal

subsupernormal

• {{Small}} - ditto, but in the other direction
