<big>
HTML <big> tag
The <big> element is used to increase the font size by one conventional unit. The font in HTML is measured in conventional units from 1 to 7, the default text size is 3.
This element makes the text one size bigger. However, the text cannot be larger than the maximum font size of the browser. (此元素使文本放大一倍。但是,文本不能大于浏览器的最大字体大小。)
The <big> tag is placed within the <body> tag.
The <big> is a deprecated HTML tag, and it is no longer used in HTML5. Use CSS styles that control font size instead.
