Text Formatting in LaTeX
LaTeX provides powerful commands to format text, making documents more readable and professional. You can control font styles, sizes, lists, and even handle special characters with ease.
Font Styles
LaTeX allows you to emphasize text using bold, italics, or underlining. These commands are useful for highlighting keywords, section titles, or important notes.
Font Sizes
You can change the size of text in LaTeX using predefined size commands. These range from very small to very large. Size changes affect only the text enclosed within the command.
Lists
LaTeX supports three main types of lists: unordered (bulleted), ordered (numbered), and descriptive. These structures help organize information clearly.
Special Characters
Some characters have special meanings in LaTeX (like %, $, &, etc.) and cannot be typed directly. To display them as symbols, you must escape them with a backslash.
