What is a small tag?

The small tag is used to reduce the text size. It is paired tag, so we can put an opening and closing tag. It is an inline-level tag, If we don’t use <br> (break) tag between two <small> tags then both will be displayed on the same line. The default value of an text size in <small> tag is 13px. If you use this tag, no default padding will be created like the <p> tag. This tag is rarely used by developers because the <small> tag is introduced in HTML5.
