General ⇒ Showing curly brackets

[helen2007]

Hello everybody

I have defined an example tag as :

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{example}{Example}

and in my text I have :

Code: Select all

\begin{example}
\begin{scriptsize}

Some text and then display {  curly brackets

\end{scriptsize}
\end{example}

But I am not able to show curly brackets in pdf file. I tried putting \ or even $ before it, but no use

Could you please help me ? I need to show curly brackets as part of my text.

Thanks
