<big>: Elemento para deixar o texto maio

The obsolete HTML Big Element (<big>) renders the enclosed text at a font size one level larger than the surrounding text (medium becomes large, for example). The size is capped at the browser's maximum permitted font size.

Note: Usage note: As it was purely presentational, this element has been removed in HTML5 (en-US) and shouldn't be used anymore. Instead web developers should use the CSS font-size property to adjust the font size.

Atributos

This element has no other attributes than the global attributes (en-US), common to all elements.
