How can I change the font size of my table?












0















For my thesis I am trying to adjust the font size of my tables in LaTeX. However, I struggle to have a scriptize font size for my caption and for the entries in my table.



Here's my code. I hope anyone can help!



%begin table
begin{scriptsize}
begin{table}[h]
centering
captionsetup{skip=0.5baselineskip,size=footnotesize}
caption{Test table}
label{table:7}
begin{tabular}{ l | l }
textbf{Entry 1} & textbf{Entry 2} \ cline{1-2}
Entry 3 & Entry 4 \
end{tabular}
end{table}
end{scriptsize}

    I'd probably just add a font size command such as scriptsize inside the table environment. The redefinition will be local and so only the table will be scriptsize.

    scriptsize is not an environment. correct use is to add scriptsize after begin{document}.

  • Technically begin{scriptsize} foo end{scriptsize} usually works fine for text because of the way environments are implemented in LaTeX, but I would usually suggest to go with {scriptsize foo} instead. See also tex.stackexchange.com/q/7312/35864.
