The small element is a text formatting control that reduces the size of the
enclosed text by one size decrement (based on the old HTML font sizes 1
through 7). Each nested small element will further decrement the size.
This element is not deprecated, but is used less frequently now, as there
are better methods for controlling text size (such as CSS), and because the
smallelement provides no semantic value for any enclosed text—it simply
states that the text needs to be smaller.
