Summary
The HTML Big Element (<big>) makes the text font size one size bigger (for example, from small to medium, or from large to x-large) up to the browser's maximum font size.
Usage note: As it was purely presentational, this element has been removed in HTML5 and shouldn't be used anymore. Instead web developers should use CSS properties.
Attributes
This element has no other attributes than the global attributes, common to all elements.
Example 1
<p> This is the first sentence. <big>This whole sentence is in bigger letters.</big> </p>
Example 2 (CSS alternative)
<p> This is the first sentence. <span style="font-size:1.2em">This whole sentence is in bigger letters.</span> </p>
Result
