<h3>How do I change the size of a subformula?</h3>
<P>There are five variants of the size-changing command:</P>
<UL>
	<LI><KBD>size 20 a </KBD>typesets a with the font size 20 pt.
	<LI><KBD>size +5 a </KBD>typesets a with current font size plus
	5pt.
	<LI><KBD>size -5 a </KBD>typesets a with current font size minus
	5pt.
	<LI><KBD>size *1.5 a </KBD>typesets a with current font size
	times 1.5.
	<LI><KBD>size /1.5 a </KBD>typesets a with current font size
	divided by 1.5.
</UL>
<P>You can change the font size of an entire subformula if you group
it with<KBD> { } </KBD>or other brackets. Example:</P>
<UL>
	<LI>Enter<KBD> a b size *2 {c d} e </KBD>to typeset ab<FONT SIZE=6>cd</FONT>e.
</UL>
<P>When several font size changes are applied, the innermost takes
precedence as shown in this example:</P>
<UL>
	<LI>Enter<KBD> size *1.5 {a size 12 b size *1.5 c d} </KBD>to get
	<FONT SIZE=5>a<FONT SIZE=3>b</FONT><FONT SIZE=6>c</FONT>d</FONT>.
</UL>

#008</A>.</P>
