A new meta tag for respecting text scaling on mobile

Author’s photo with HTML terms div, role, span around it, HTMHell logo, and “A new meta tag for respecting text scaling on mobile” title.

Manuel Matuzović demonstrates the proposed <meta name="textscale"> element, an opt-in that makes websites honor OS text size settings in mobile browsers. Relative units like em and rem will scale with user preferences while pixel values stay unchanged. Currently only available in Chrome Canary. Firefox already reacts to OS settings but zooms the entire viewport instead of scaling text alone.
