This Template Tag computes the font-size of two given arguments and returns a CSS-encoded string like "font-size: XXpx;", which can be used to format the font-size of link. (The minium font-size must be set with CSS.)

Requires two arguments: 1. occurrence of the current tag 2. sum of all occurrences

It works great for my tag-cloud.

Source of the logarithmic formula

Usage

<a href="http://www.anything.com" {% cloudify variable.occurrence overall. occurrence_sum %} title="anything">any tag</a>
