Screenshots taken once with the text size set to largest and once to smallest.

As you can see, `hide_texts` has always the same size.

It would be great if it could dynamically adjust with the text around it instead of always being 14px.

I noticed that the fixed font size of code is also a problem on category descriptions shown next to the category icon.

I don’t remember in which topic, but somewhere in a #Documentation topic I recently noticed that this also affects `<small>`.

This `code` isn’t small

```plaintext
<small> This `code` isn't small</small>

This was an intentional change fixing other issues:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/30936](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/30936)

Maybe using REMs is the inbetween way

Example with large text

And smallest text render right now

 ![CleanShot 2025-12-09 at 13.38.24@2x](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/7/d/77d29b5089400f794a9b3e42c53d4ad8e508b4d7.png)

But, the problem of code inside a `<small>` tag wont be fixed because that would actually need EMs to work, so that needs an exception.

Both are done here:
