Description

In HTML4, the <small> HTML element reduces the font size by one compared to plain text. In HTML4, font size is measured in arbitrary units from 1 to 7, the average text size used by default is 3. Thus, adding <small> reduces the text by one arbitrary unit. The use of nested <small> elements is allowed, while the font size will be smaller with each nested level, but cannot be less than 1.
In HTML5, the <small> element is used for footnotes and comments, usually written in small text. These may include warnings, license information, copyrights, etc.
