"small" tag : defines smaller text

The <small> tag defines smaller text (like copyright and other side-comments).
This tag is not deprecated, but it is possible to achieve richer (or the same) effect with CSS. The <small> HTML element represents side-comments and small print, like copyright and legal text, independent of its styled presentation. By default, it renders text within it one font-size smaller, such as from small to x-small.

Attributes: the <small> element supports the global attributes and events attributes.
