    size

    That's still not an answer.

    So you want paragraphs to be wider than the screen on an iPhone? That's
    a terrible idea.

    No, width is not part of size.

    Example:

    .myclass { width:100%; }

    This defines a class "myclass" which sets an element 100% wide. And it
    does not matter at all what size the text is.

    If your text seems to be too small you just need to adjust font-size to
    a value bigger than 1em.

    okay, that is the width of the paragraph not the size of the text in it

    So you are saying the font size is smaller than you want. That would
    have been helpful at the beginning. However, keep in mind, that you have
    no actual control over things like font size, regardless of what you set.

    in head:
    #v+
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />
    #v-

    in style:

    #v+
    @media screen
    and (min-width: 200px)
    and (max-width: 800px)
    {
    p: font-size: 120%
    }
    #v-

    Besides, CSS is not really HTML in a pure sense. It's more like an HTML extension or HTML2.0. :-)

    Dale amok-crossposted to 4(!) newsgroups:

    No Usenet posting is that important that it needs to be posted to more
    than 3 newsgroups (especially without Followup-To). If World War Ⅲ is
    going to be announced, it will be announced in news.announce.important.

    Probably the font size is not too small per se, but you are just looking at
    a zoomed-out version because you have not done any mobile optimization of
    your site yet. Use Google Webmaster Tools for further advice.

    This is true. I have set follow-ups.

    going to be announced, it will be announced in
    news.announce.important.

    This is not. n.a.i won't post things that are not Usenet specific and important. WWIII (no need for obscure Unicode) be it the US invasion of Afganistan or the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it won't make the cut.

    Who created Usenet II, and then fucked off with the signing keys without deleting the groups. Fuck him.
