Description Danny B. 2010-07-22 10:10:08 UTC
The edit toolbar should not contain buttons which insert deprecated presentational tags, such as <big> or <small>, which encourage users to use them, although they should not.
Comment 1 p858snake 2010-07-22 10:14:16 UTC
Um, were they ever actually part of the html specs, i thought we just made up
the Big and Small?

No, we didn't make them up, they're HTML tags. Look at the HTML output of previewing <big>foo</big> and you'll see it's really just <big>foo</big>
Comment 3 Danny B. 2010-07-22 11:47:10 UTC
This actually suggests another possible solution (which should be another bug though) - keep <big> and <small> but render them as <span class="big/small"> (with appropriate other attributes coming from the original tag. Just for the record,so it won't get forgotten.
Comment 4 parul 2010-07-22 20:08:07 UTC
if i remember correctly, these buttons were used in our old (and new?) tool bar click tracking in japanese.  with our other font size issues in script language, i wouldn't be surprised if this was the case for chinese, korean, etc.......

we were actually going to take these out a while back until we saw that data and decided to keep it in until another point of view (read:  pleas to remove them) surfaced.
