Usage

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 is obsolete, this template may be used as a replacement for presentation markup.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 {{IPA}}, and similar templates:

• {{big|{{IPA|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.
