# smaller code?

 * I’ve happily used this plugin for several years, thanks for providing it!
 * Recently I switched my blog to twenty sixteen, which is generally great but in
   this new theme the text column is fairly narrow and code in syntaxhighlighter
   is fairly large, causing almost all code to have a horizontal scroll bar. See
   for example the code in this post:
 * [http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1294](http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1294)
 * Is there an easy way to simply make syntaxhighlighter render code in a smaller
   font so that this doesn’t happen?
 * Thanks.

 * In a post I’m writing now, I’ve been putting my code samples inside a <font size
   =”-1″> block. This gives the desired effect. Could we perhaps get an option to
   do that automatically for all syntaxhighlighter code blocks? Thanks.
