SUMMARY

To change the font size in LaTeX, users can utilize commands such as {\Huge}, {\normalsize}, and {\tiny}. These commands can be applied within the text to adjust the font size accordingly. For inline math, users should use ## to wrap the LaTeX code, while display-style math requires the use of $$. Additionally, resources like Overleaf and the Physics Forums LaTeX guide provide comprehensive instructions on font sizes and mathematical symbols.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax and commands
  • Understanding of inline and display-style math formatting
  • Basic knowledge of font size commands in LaTeX
  • Access to LaTeX resources such as Overleaf
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore LaTeX font size commands in detail
  • Learn how to format inline and display-style math in LaTeX
  • Review the Overleaf documentation on LaTeX font sizes
  • Study the Physics Forums LaTeX guide for additional tips
USEFUL FOR

Anyone working with LaTeX, including students, researchers, and educators who need to format documents and mathematical expressions effectively.

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/
