LaTeX How Do You Change The Font Size of LaTeX?

AI Thread Summary
To change the font size in LaTeX, various commands can be used, such as {\Huge}, {\normalsize}, and {\tiny}, which are applicable in forum posts as well. For displaying mathematical symbols like the integral symbol, inline math can be created using ## at the beginning and end of the LaTeX code, while display-style math requires $$ instead. For example, $$\int_a^b \sec \theta\ \mathrm{d} \theta$$ is used for display-style, while ##\int_a^b \sec \theta\ \mathrm{d} \theta## is for inline. Additional resources, including a LaTeX guide, are available for further assistance.

I forgot to mention. What I meant is in this forums.
 
I also would like to know how to write the integral symbol in this forums like this:

int_big.PNG

Instead of this:

int_small.PNG

Most of the normal LaTeX font sizes work here too: $${\Huge \text{Physics Forums}} \quad {\normalsize \text{Physics Forums}} \quad {\tiny \text{Physics Forums}}$$ This was created with $${\Huge \text{Physics Forums}} \quad {\normalsize \text{Physics Forums}} \quad {\tiny \text{Physics Forums}}$$

The latter is inline math, created by appending ## to the beginning and end of the LaTeX code. The former is display-style. Use $$ instead of ##:
$$\int_a^b \sec \theta\ \mathrm{d} \theta$$ and

##\int_a^b \sec \theta\ \mathrm{d} \theta##.

Also, have a look at our LaTeX guide: https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/
