modifying the style of a mathematical symbol

Post by NELLLY »

Hello
I need to have a mathematical symbol to be in bold style.
I used \mathbf{|} but no change has been made.
What can I do?

Look at the bm (bold math) package.

You could use the \boldsymbol command from amsmath.

Code: Select all

\( \boldsymbol{\alpha} \)
The command you tried only affects text.


Best regards
