Description

How do I change the font size for some bullet points within a list
In particular, I want second level bullets to be smaller.

---
title: "example"
format: revealjs
---

## Slide with bullets

::: {.incremental}

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
    + This text should have a smaller font size
* Another bullet

:::

Use CSS and/or span/divs, see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/markdown-basics.html#divs-and-spans.

title: "example"
format: revealjs

## Slide with bullets

::: {.incremental}

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
    + [This text should have a smaller font size]{style="font-size:0.5em"}
* Another bullet;

:::

or

---
title: "example"
format: revealjs
include-in-header:
  - text: |
      <style type="text/css">
      ul li ul li {
        font-size: 0.5em;
      }
      </style>
---

## Slide with bullets

::: {.incremental}

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
    + This text should have a smaller font size
* Another bullet;

:::

Or plenty other CSS ways.

Brilliant, the second method is exactly what I was looking for.

I had been trying ::: {.smaller} ::: around the bullet points and getting odd results.

[mcanouil]

Note that the second method applies to absolutely everything.

@mcanouil does the syntax [This text should have a smaller font size]{style="font-size:0.5em"} create a span? Is there a supported way of writing inline spans? For example I might want to add a style to R package names that i've written in line

[mcanouil]

Yes, this is described in the markdown basics guide, see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/markdown-basics.html#divs-and-spans.

PS: I do not understand your "inline span" comment. Spans are by definition inline as opposed to divs.

@JosiahParry There's a trick you can use to check what Pandoc does:

$ cat file.md
[This text should have a smaller font size]{style="font-size:0.5em"}
$ quarto pandoc -f markdown -t html file.md
<p><span style="font-size:0.5em">This text should have a smaller font
size</span></p>

The paragraph tag is there simply because Pandoc doesn't like putting a <span> in the main document by itself:

$ cat file2.md
Some more text, and then [This text should have a smaller font size]{style="font-size:0.5em"}
$ quarto pandoc -f markdown -t html file2.md
<p>Some more text, and then <span style="font-size:0.5em">This text
should have a smaller font size</span></p>

You can also opt to inspect the "native" Pandoc AST, which is not rendered to any particular format:

$ quarto pandoc -f markdown -t native file2.md
