Rules for coding HTML small elements
Make sure you understand the difference between a tag and element and are familiar with the definitions of namespace and other HTML terms.
- Code the small element for smaller text where phrasing content is expected.
- Begin the small element with a starting <small> tag. The element name uses lower case letters and should be in the HTML namespace, which it will pick up automatically from the
xmlnsattribute on the <html> tag. - Include any HTML global attributes on the <small> tag as appropriate.
- Inside the small element, between the starting
<small>tag and the ending</small>tag, code the inner HTML phrasing content. - End the small element with a matching
</small>closing tag.

Differences between HTML 5 and earlier versions of HTML
The 2000-2010 Recommendations from the W3C HTML Working Group defined the HTML namespace for the small element type name along with the names of all HTML element types. In older (pre-2000) versions of HTML, element type names were not associated with a namespace.
