How to do bold letters and larger font with certain words in Latex?
Latex Tips: Bold Letters and Larger Fonts
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on formatting text in LaTeX, specifically using commands to create bold letters and adjust font sizes. Key commands include \textbf for bold text and various size commands such as \scriptsize, \tiny, \large, \Large, \huge, \Huge, and \HUGE. To apply a different size to only a portion of the text, users should encapsulate the desired text within its own group using curly braces. This method allows for precise control over text formatting without affecting the entire document.

These size commands act within the group. To make only a part of the text a different size, just put it in its own group:
this is an example of {\Large a piece of large text while} this is small.
