Different font size new editor in excerpt
Asked by John Uittenbogaart:

Hi there,

I converted a page in Confluence into the new editor. The font size in the excerpt is smaller than de text size on the rest of the page.

Where can I adjust the size of the fond in the excerpt.

Going straight to the point, I can tell you that neither the Excerpt Macro or Confluence itself has a setting that controls Font Size.

I was able to get smaller font when using the Excerpt Macro in edit mode and published page. Here is what I see during edit:

After I published the page, font size was incorrectly displayed for all content within the macro:

Moving further I was able to find this report tackling the behavior:

Currently, the best course of action would be to vote and watch the report. Voting for it helps to increase the visibility and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there.

body: Hello there [@John Uittenbogaart](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3883814) an [@eoghanmurf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/928064)I truly appreciate feedback from people all around who use Atlassian Applications. I took notice of this thread again due to recent comment from [@eoghanmurf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/928064) .

I understand that visual inconsistencies and bugs can lead to some changes on how we perceive and use something.

With this in mind, I would love to see you share your feedback on the link I shared earlier:
> * ++***[\[Confuence Cloud\] Font for excerpt doesn't match body text](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66591)***++

This report tackles this issue directly.

Also, we do have a community post talking about content and how Atlassian customers can take command of how their content looks like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So let's say you're on a page called \`Foo\`, you define your excerpt as normal and you get the smaller annoying font size. What you can do is select the except you just made on \`Foo\` and in that panel on the right-hand side where you name it be sure to check the box \`Hide Excerpted Content\`. Now the excerpt you just made on \`Foo\` will be hidden (only on \`Foo\`) but will show when you include it. So, immediately below it include it back in and be sure to check the \`Remove Surrounding Panel\` option.

This way you have made an except on \`Foo\`, let's say our except is called \`e_bar\` and you've made \`e_bar\` hidden then immediately included it and removed the surrounding panel which shows \`e_bar\` at full-size while on \`Foo\`!
