'''<nowiki>{{font}}</nowiki>''' is used to define text styles, for example, size and color. It can also be used to inject [[CSS]]. This can be useful when needed to change "I" in Arial to "{{font|I|font=Times New Roman}}" in Times New Roman, since in Arial, uppercase "I" looks the same as lowercase "L".

== Use ==
<code><nowiki>{{font|TEXT(or「text=TEXT」)|font=FONT|size=SIZE（px/em/pt/%)|color=COLOR|bgcolor=BACKGROUND COLOR|css=CSS}}</nowiki></code>

Note that for accessibility reasons [[MOS:FONTSIZE]] says: "No text should be reduced below 85% of the page's default font size." Also, font sizes should be set as percentages, not fixed font sizes, because: "This improves accessibility for visually impaired users who use a large default font size."

If a table has been set overall to <code>style="font-size:90%;"</code>, then setting an individual cell to <code><nowiki>{{font|size=85%|...}}</nowiki></code> actually is 0.85 of 0.9 which is 76.5%.

== Parameter list ==

; <code>text</code> : The text to be changed.
; <code>font</code> : The text's font.<br> A list of fonts supported by Wikipedia can be found here: [[Wikipedia:Typography#Available fonts]].
; <code>size</code> : The size of the text. Possible unit include <code>px</code>, <code>em</code>, <code>pt</code>, <code>%</code>.
; <code>color</code> : The color of the text.
; <code>bgcolor</code> : The background color.
; <code>css</code> : A [[CSS]] style.

== Examples ==

==Limitations==
This template should not be used around multiple paragraphs. For example, it should not be used around multiple bullet or numbered points or more than one cell of a table. It may, however, surround as many uses of <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> as desired.
