Introduction to <big>tag

The <big>HTML element though, which is now deprecated, displays the text it encloses at a slightly larger font size than the surrounding content. For example:- if the surrounding text is at a medium size, the text within the <big>tag will appear larger. the increase in size is limited by the browser's maximum allowable font size.

Warning: This element is no longer part of the web standards and should not be used. Instead, use the CSS <font-size>property to control text size.

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended for use but while some browsers might still support it but it may have already been removed from web standards or it could be in the process of being phased out, it might only be retained for compatibility with older web projects and it's advisable to avoid using this feature and update your existing code wherever possible, refer to the compatibility table below for guidance and keep in mind that the feature may stop functioning in the future.
