02 ARITHMETIC EXPRESSIONS, SUB-/SUPERSCRIPTS, ROOTS
superscript - The command character "^" triggers superscription of the following expression(s).
- For more than one superscripted character put them in braces {...}.
- Use font sizing commands for appropriate sizing.
- Ex.: $$x^2$$ gives
- Ex. (with specific sizing): $$x^{\small2}=a^{\small{m+2n}}$$ gives
- Combine superscripting with subscripting (command character "_").
Syntax: Expr_{subExpr}^{supExpr}. - Ex.: $$A_{\small{i,j,k}}^{\small{-n+2}}$$ gives

variables - Variables in formulas are rendered in italic roman font face, which is a widely used convention.
- Following this convention, constants are shown as non-italic.
- Exp.: $$f(x)=3a+x$$ gives

03 FONT STYLES
\LARGE (all capital letters) - Everthing following the \LARGE command will be output in the largest predefined font size until the system encounters another font size command.
- Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes!
- Ex.: $$\LARGE~3x$$ gives
|
|
\Large (L capital letter) - Everthing following the \Large command will be output in the second largest font size until the system encounters another font size command.
- Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes!
- Ex.: $$\Large~3x$$ gives
|
|
\large (all lower case letters) - Everthing following the \large command will be output in the large font size until the system encounters another font size command.
- Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes!
- Ex.: $$\large~3x$$ gives
|
|
\normalsize - Everthing following the \normalsize command will be output in the smallest predefined font size until the system encounters another font size command.
- \normalsize is the default font size, i.e. the size automatically chosen if there is no font size command
- Ex.: $$\normalsize~3x$$ gives
|
|
\small - \small
- Ex.: $$\small~3x$$ gives
|
|
\tiny - Everthing following the \tiny command will be output in the smallest predefined font size until the system encounters another font size command.
- Ex.: $$\tiny~3x$$ gives

04 DELIMITERS (PARENTHESES, BRACES,...)
angle bracket - Syntax: \left<...\right>
- Ex.: $$\left<f,g\right>$$ gives
