     <h3>Small text</h3>
     <p>For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the <code>&lt;small&gt;</code> tag to set text at 85% the size of the parent. Heading elements receive their own <code>font-size</code> for nested <code>&lt;small&gt;</code> elements.</p>
+    <p>You may alternatively use an inline element with <code>.small</code> in place of any <code>&lt;small&gt;</code></p>
     <div class="bs-example">
       <p><small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small></p>
     </div>
