[LON-CAPA-users] large formulas

[Lars Jensen]

Sorry, that little piece of latex should be:

{\huge This is a huge in-line formula \( a = b. \) Here it is in
display: 
\[
a = b
\]
}

Another comment - I think the version suggested by Guy will fail on
the printout because \Large and \huge etc are not to be used in math
mode.
