Big HTML Tag is used to define a bigger text in HTML.
The Big HTML Tag is not supported in HTML 5 but is supported in HTML 4.0.1.
As mentioned above that HMTL 5 doesn’t supports the HTML big tag, we have to use the CSS instead.
Syntax for Big HTML Tag
<big> Some text goes here.. </big>
Example of HTML Big Tag
| Big HTML Tag Code | Output |
Tech Honey is a <big> good website </big>. |
Tech Honey is a good website. |
Here we can see that the output of the HTML Big Tag formats the words “good website” differently than the other words in the same sentence. The text “good website” is rendered much bigger than the other words and that’s the use if HTML Big Tag.
