Text Formatting ⇒ One Document: appendix with smaller font size - possible?

[hoembi]

Hi guys,

I am currently writing on a bachelor thesis and have the following problem:
My document has font size 12. I want the appendix to be much smaller - say 10pt instead of 12, because otherwise it would just grow immensly big.

Is there any possibility to do such a thing, i.e. having another font-size in the appendix?

Hi hoembi,

welcome to the board!

It's not the best, to change the base font size within the document. You could redefine \normalsize.

A quick way could be both redefining and switching, let's say to small:

Code: Select all

\let\normalsize\small
\appendix
\small

But one should redefine \large, \small, \footnotesize etc. accordingly if the appendix uses different sizes.

Or, put the appendix in a separate document with a different base font size.

Thanks for this fast answer.

I tried your hints but then I realized that this cannot work, because my Programm Code is in lstlisting environment (to grant the exact illustration of the code).

So what I need to do is to define a new lstlisting (because in the document itself I also use the lstlisting) and make sure only the lstlisting in the Appendix has the smaller fontsize.
But I have absolutely no clue how to do so....

Maybe someone knows how this can be achieved.

thx in advance

Try

Code: Select all

\lstset{basicstyle=\small}

or \tiny or other font size commands before the appendix.
