Wish to know how to change font size here

[symbolipoint]

not an important message itself; just trying to see if tagging for changing or controlling font size

Example, how to adjust size
given below, size 16, and then size 6, but must be careful; size continue onward and needs to be adjusted again after any tagging.

It's an interesting feature of PF.

You can modify the size using the BB code tag [ size=99 ] around your text.

I wonder what is the forum's default text size?

 

[jedishrfu]

Looks like 7 is too big so I'm guessing its 5 but it looks like size=0 works too.

testing size=6 make this text a 6
testing size=5 make this text a 5
testing size=4 make this text a 4
testing size=3 make this text a 3
testing size=2 make this text a 2
testing size=1 make this text a 1
testing size=0 make this text a 0

Looks like 7 is too big so I'm guessing its 5 but it looks like size=0 works too.

Maybe it's just my aging eyes, but to me default text looks to be size 0 (bigger than 4 and smaller than 5):
text default, text 4, text 0, text 5

Are you using Chrome? Right click on the text, select "Inspect", navigate to the exact piece of text you want to check, switch styles display to "computed" - it displays the default font-size as 17px (which is neither 4, 5 nor 6, which are 15px, 18px and 22px respectively).

Or at least SIMETIMES it displays the default font-size as 17px, as the result seems to depend on the order in which I am clicking on different text element, never seen that behavior before.

It's not uncommon in programming to allow for several sizes over a range like 1 through 7 and use zero as the default value, whatever it may be.

In this case, size=0 removes the bb tag I used.

Or more simply, just follow the link that appears when you are entering a message. It's at the lower left corner next to the link to our LaTeX guide.

I should try that right now.

sample text A ------using 36
sample text B -------using 0
sample text C -------using 3

Therein the link you gave, shown some tags that can be applied. I play with some of that.

I just need to try this, too. I wonder if a large size limitation for font.

sample size 14
sample size 40
sample size 58

but those ALL look the same size!
I just have to keep trying.
Just keep trying. Size 3

They appear to all be 26 pixels, which may be the largest size, and possibly corresponds with size = 7.

Size 0
Size 2
Size 6
Size 7
Size 8

Edit: The largest size is indeed 7, which is 26 pixels. Larger size values all seem to default to the same size; namely 26 pixels..

Here's the raw (unprocessed by the browser) BBCode for my test:

[SIZE=2]Size 2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=6]Size 6[/SIZE]
[SIZE=7]Size 7
[SIZE=8]Size 8[/SIZE]

Here's the raw XML that is produced from the above:

<br>
<span style="font-size: 10px">Size 2</span
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 22px">Size 6</span
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 26px">Size 7</span
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 26px">Size 8</span
<br>

As you can see, there's no difference between size=7 and size=8: both use pixel sizes of 26. In MSFT Edge, you can right-click on the page and click the Inspect menu item.
