A user, cockroach, reported an issue with using the <small> tag on multiple lines. They provided the output and source code, which didn’t render correctly. ondrej suggested adding a <div> tag, which solved the problem. However, cockroach found that using a <span> tag instead of <div> is a better solution. ondrej agreed that <span> is more suitable for styling purposes.
