HTML <big> Tag

The <big> tag in HTML is used to increase the size of text within the tag. It is a presentational tag that is used to make text larger than the surrounding text. It is not recommended to use <big> for styling purposes as it is considered deprecated in HTML5. It is better to use CSS for styling text size.

How the <big> tag works:

To use the <big> tag, simply wrap the text you want to enlarge within the tag. For example:

<big>This text will be bigger</big>

This will result in: This text will be bigger

Table of main attributes for the <big> tag:

Attribute Description
None The <big> tag does not have any specific attributes

As mentioned earlier, it is recommended to use CSS for styling text size instead of the <big> tag. Here is an example of how you can achieve the same effect using CSS:

<style>
  .large-text {
    font-size: 20px;
  }
</style>

<p class="large-text">This text will be larger</p>

This will result in: This text will be larger
