Lovemaker said:Hi,
Does anyone know how to make the script lowercase L in LaTeX (i.e. looks like the breast cancer symbol).
Thanks!
(Hopefully I put this in the appropriate forum)
To make a lowercase script L in LaTeX, you can use the \ell command or the \mathcal{L} command. Both of these will produce a lowercase script L in your document.
Yes, you can customize the size of the lowercase script L by using the \scriptsize, \footnotesize, \small, \normalsize, \large, \Large, \LARGE, \huge, or \Huge commands before the \ell or \mathcal{L} command. For example, \small\ell will produce a smaller lowercase script L.
You can use the \ell or \mathcal{L} command within the subscript or superscript brackets. For example, H_{\ell} will produce a lowercase script L as a subscript to the letter H.
Yes, you can change the font of the lowercase script L by using the \mathcal{L} command within a font changing command, such as \textbf{} for bold or \textit{} for italics. For example, \textbf{\mathcal{L}} will produce a bold lowercase script L.
Yes, you can use the shortcut \ell or \mathcal{L} followed by a space to produce a lowercase script L. For example, \ell\ will produce a lowercase script L without having to use the curly braces. However, it is recommended to use the curly braces for consistency and clarity in your code.
