HTML Expand To Fit |

If I have a block of text that I want to expand to fill the screen,
there ought to be some way to specify this in HTML. Specifically, I
want to put contra dance calling cards on my phone [1]. I definitely
don't want any scrolling, and I'd like them to be as big as possible.
I've figured out a hackish way to do this with javascript, but there
ought to be a clean way. The hackish way:
Draft: Trip To LambertvilleThis runs a little loop:
make font huge
while vertical scroll bar present:
make font a little smaller
While this works, I really ought to be able to ask the browser nicely
"make this as big as will fit" instead of forcing it to do
something so stupid [2]. Is this possible with just html and css?
[1] To replace the tiny illegible index cards in my wallet.
[2] Yes, I could use binary search. O(n) → O(log(n)). Still stupid.
