Text Formatting¶

LaTeX provides robust commands for styling text.

Font Styles¶

Style	Command	Example
Bold	`\textbf{text}`	This is \textbf{bold} text.
Italic	`\textit{text}`	This is \textit{italic} text.
*Underline*	`\underline{text}`	This is \underline{underlined} text.
`Typewriter`	`\texttt{text}`	This is \texttt{monospaced} text.

Sans Serif	`\textsf{text}`	This is \textsf{sans serif} text.
Roman (Default)	`\textrm{text}`	This is \textrm{serif} text.

You can nest commands: \textbf{\textit{Bold and Italic}}.

LaTeX has built-in relative font size commands:

Command	Size	Default 10pt	Default 11pt	Default 12pt
`\tiny`	Tiny	5pt	6pt	6pt
`\scriptsize`	Script Size	7pt	8pt	8pt

`\LARGE`	Even Larger	17pt	17pt	20pt

Example: {\Large This text is large.}

Use the quote for single paragraphs and quotation for multiple paragraphs.

\begin{quote}
    This is a short quote.
\end{quote}
