Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to change the font size of text and LaTeX within the Physics Forums platform. Participants explore the commands and methods applicable specifically to the forum's LaTeX implementation.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests information on changing font size in LaTeX.
  • Another participant suggests that a simple Google search could provide the necessary commands for changing font sizes in LaTeX.
  • A participant clarifies that their inquiry pertains specifically to the forums, not general LaTeX usage.
  • One participant expresses interest in writing the integral symbol in a specific format within the forums.
  • Another participant demonstrates how to use different LaTeX font sizes in the forum and explains the difference between inline and display-style math formatting.
  • A participant references the forum's LaTeX guide for additional help.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best method for changing font sizes specifically within the forums, and multiple approaches are discussed.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the familiarity with LaTeX commands and the specific formatting rules of the forums may be present, but these are not explicitly stated.

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/
