would be rendered as:

This is normal text, with this bit being big text.

NOTE : Use of this element is currently supported by Netscape and the Internet Explorer only. They also allow the <BIG> ... </BIG> element to be used surrounding the <SUB> ... </SUB> and <SUP> ... </SUP> elements to force rendering of the sub/superscript text as normal size text as opposed to the default slightly smaller text normally used. The exact appearance of the big text will change depending on any <FONT SIZE=...> and <BASEFONT SIZE=...> settings, if specified.

<BIG> can also take the CLASS, ID and STYLE attributes to allow style sheet definitions to be applied to it. For more details of these attributes, see the Style Sheets topic.
