Text figures, as Wikipedia calls them, are something that sometimes makes text more readable. Normal-sized numbers usually stand out much more than the rest of the text. Especially in text that is in small-caps, the big numbers don't fit that well. How would I have smaller numbers in text using CSS?
An example of where I'd like to have smaller numbers:
.smallcaps {
font-variant: small-caps;
}
<p class="smallcaps">Example smallcaps 1337 text.</p>
<p>Another text with 42 numbers in it.</p>
What you are asking for are sometimes called "lowercase numerals" but, among typographers, are most often called "old style numerals" or "old style figures". That's what they're called in OpenType.
Some fonts support old style figures by default and some support them as alternate glyphs. In OpenType fonts that support them as alternate glyphs, they would be selected by activating the 'onum' feature.
In CSS, when using a font that supports oldstyle figures via the 'onum' feature, these can be selected using font-variant-numeric: oldstylenums. See https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-4/#font-variant-numeric-prop for reference.
You can change text (numbers) size with css font-size property and span tag.
Like this :
.smallcaps {
font-variant: small-caps;
}
.num {
color :red;
/* font-size: smaller; */
/* font-size: x-small; */
font-size: xx-small;
}
<p class="smallcaps">Example smallcaps <span class="num">1337</span> text.</p>
<p>Another text with <span class="num">42</span> numbers in it.</p>
<p class="smallcaps">Example smallcaps 1337 text.</p>
<p>Another text with 42 numbers in it.</p>

I am tring to do some text display bold in web with HTML.
<p>HELLO</p>
My Required output is :- HELLO.
You can bold a text in multiple ways.
Way 1:
<strong>This text is bold</strong>
Way 2:
<p>Your username for your new computer is <b>JohnAppleseed</b></p>
Way 3 (Using CSS):
p.thick {
font-weight: bold;
}
p.thicker {
font-weight: 900;
}
<p class="thick">This is a paragraph.</p>
<p class="thicker">This is a paragraph.</p>

strong is the HTML tag to do that. Refer to W3Schools.
<strong>HELLO</strong>
I got strange spacing issues. There is number and each text parallel. And there is different spacing between 1, 4, 7 and 'each' text. How can we fix this issue or it can't be fixed. I have not used any spacing and extra css properties.
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Spectral');
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Spectral');
.bigger {
font-size: 40px;
}
p {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
<p>
<span class="bigger">81</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">84</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">87</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
Although using a monospace font is a nice workaround, you could solve this with your original font if it has the correct OpenType features.
The difference in the space that a digit occupies is caused by the width of the digit (as opposed to kerning or letter spacing, as suggested in the other answers). The width is proportional — the 1 is narrower than the 4.
But a font can also offer tabular figures, where each digit is of equal width:
You can enable this in CSS with font-feature-settings: 'tnum';. Or to use other OpenType features and take care of browser inconsistencies, see Utility OpenType.
That is the issue of letter spacing of the font. You should use a monospace font to achieve same spacing for all characters.
Try the below snippet.
.bigger {
font-size: 40px;
}
p {
font-family: monospace;
}
<p>
<span class="bigger">81</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">84</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">87</span>
<small>each</small>
</p> <br>
The character 1 (and 7 sometimes) would usually be spaced out in most fonts. If you want uniform spacing, you should consider using monospace fonts.
Another improvement that you can make to your code is removing the spaces between tags.
Please check the code below:
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Spectral');
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Spectral');
.bigger {
font-size: 40px;
}
p {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
<p>
<span class="bigger">81</span><small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">84</span><small>each</small>
</p> <br>
<p>
<span class="bigger">87</span><small>each</small>
</p> <br>
Say we have a text paragraph (p, div or what have you):
Be nice. The world 🌎 is a small town 😄
I would like the text in it to be italic, but emoji to have a normal font-style without wrapping the emoji or any other text in additional tags.
Be nice. The world 🌎 is a small town 😄
<p><i>Be nice. The world</i> 🌎 <i>is a small town</i> 😄<p>
In my opinion, better way is to wrap emoji icons in an inline element like <span> and style in css.
.emoji {
font-style: normal;
}
p {
font-style: italic;
}
<p>Be nice. The world <span class="emoji">🌎</span> is a small town <span class="emoji">😄</span></p>
the simplest way is :
<p><i>Be nice. The world</i> :) <i>is a small town</i> :P </p>
alternatively you can use css to style.
You can use any of these
x{
font-style: italic;
}
span{
font-style: italic;
}
<p><x>Be niceThe world </x> ☎ <x>is a small town </x> ☎</p>
<p><span>Be niceThe world </span> ☎ <span>is a small town </span> ☎</p>
This is difficult to explain
I have a div tag that includes many p tags. These p tags are varying font sizes up to 250.
I would like the text to wrap the larger font sizes. For instance, if I have a paragraph with the work "ok" with a font size of 250, I want the other paragraph tags to wrap around it instead of having one line like it is now.
This must remain a single div tag containing multiple p tags.
Here are images explaining what I mean:

I should add, the order of the other paragraphs do not matter, they can be completely random just as long as there are multiple lines wrapping the larger fonts, so the last paragraph can be at the top. Whichever can fit the most text in the smallest area is what I am looking for.
I have put an example on jsfiddle, asdf, qwer, sd, and ds should be stacked on top of each other beside test
http://jsfiddle.net/rfcy2f15/1/
Sorry about my english and I'n not sure that I understand you but this could help you: http://jsfiddle.net/4kLyxgpx/
p {
display: block;
line-height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
And HTML:
<div>
<p style='font-size: 100px;display: inline; float:left;'>test</p>
<p style='font-size: 20px;'>asdf</p>
<p style='font-size: 12px;'>qwer</p>
<p style='font-size: 10px;'>sd</p>
<p style='font-size: 10px;'>ds</p>
<p style='font-size: 40px;'>csd</p>
<p style='font-size: 10px;'>werw</p>
</div>
I have to increase the size of a word in a middle of a normal font-size sentence.
<p class="call">To book a consultation click here or call NOW</p>
How can I enlarge the NOW word in CSS? If I create new paragraph the word will go to the new line.
Any advice appreciated.
<p class="call">To book a consultation click here or call <span class='bigger'>NOW</span></p>
with CSS
.bigger { font-size:200%; }
Decide why you want it to be bigger (the point is HTML is to describe semantics, not presentation, so you need to think about this sort of thing)
Write appropriate semantic markup
Apply CSS
Perhaps:
<p class="call">To book a consultation click here or call <em>now</em></p>
and in your stylesheet:
em { /* or .call em, but you should aim for consistency in your styling */
font-style: normal;
font-size: 120%;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
This will also work
<p> This is some <b> TEXT </b><p>
