Style
Style[expr,options]
displays with expr formatted using the specified option settings.
Style[expr,"style"]
uses the option settings for the specified style in the current notebook.
Style[expr,color]
displays using the specified color.
Style[expr,Underlined]
displays with fonts underlined.
Style[expr,n]
displays with font size n.
Details and Options
- Style can be used in both ordinary expressions and graphics.
- Style[expr,spec1,spec2,…] allows the speci to be any list or sequence of the following:
-
opt1->val1,… explicit options "style" a named style from the current stylesheets color directive color (Red, RGBColor[…], …) graphics directive (Thickness[…], …) Bold text bold (FontWeight->"Bold") Italic text italic (FontSlant->"Italic") Underlined text underlined Larger text larger Smaller text smaller n (any number) text with font size n (FontSize->n) Tiny, Small, etc. text with absolute size - Style can use any option listed in the Option Inspector in the notebook front end.
- Style can use any graphics directive or list of graphics directives.
- In Style[expr,spec1,spec2,…], explicit settings given in the speci always override settings defined by named styles in the speci, regardless of the order in which they occur.
- For explicit settings, the first occurrence of a setting for a given option will be the one used.
- Directives such as Red or Bold are treated as equivalent to their corresponding option settings.
- A few common explicit options include:
-
Background background color Editable whether the contents are editable FontFamily font family Hyphenation whether to hyphenate in text Magnification magnification Selectable whether the contents are selectable - A few common named styles include:
-
"Button" display like text in a system button "Graphics" display like graphics "Input" display like Wolfram Language input "Label" display as a sans serif label "Menu" display like a system menu item "Output" display like Wolfram Language output "Panel" display like text in a system panel "PopupMenu" display like a system popup menu "Section" display as a section heading "SmallText" display like small text "Subsection" display as a subsection heading "Text" display like ordinary text "Title" display like a title - When Style objects are nested, the specifications of the innermost one control the display of a particular expression.

FontSize (2)
Specify the font size in printer's points:
Table[Text[Style["ABC", FontSize -> p]], {p, {12, 24, 36}}]Specify the absolute font size using predefined symbolic values:
Table[Text[Style["ABC", FontSize -> p]], {p, {Tiny, Small, Medium, Large}}]Specify the font size without using an option:
Table[Text[Style["ABC", s]], {s, {12, 24, 36}}]FontSlant (2)

Different settings for FontTracking:
Framed@Column[Table[Style["AaBbCcDd", FontTracking -> t], {t, {"Narrow", "Condensed", "SemiCondensed", "Plain", "Extended", "Wide"}}]]FontVariations (1)
Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"Underline" -> True}]Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"StrikeThrough" -> True}]Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"Underline" -> True, "StrikeThrough" -> True}]FontWeight (2)
ImageSizeMultipliers (2)
Graphics[Circle[{0, 0}, {3, 1}]]Specify that the graphic inside a list is 0.4 times its normal size:
Style[{Graphics[Circle[{0, 0}, {3, 1}]]}, ImageSizeMultipliers -> {0.4, 0.2}]Specify that the graphic inside a function is 0.2 times its normal size:
Style[f[Graphics[Circle[{0, 0}, {3, 1}]]], ImageSizeMultipliers -> {0.4, 0.2}]LineIndent (1)
LineSpacing (1)
t = StringJoin@@Table["abcde ", {40}];Framed@Text[Style[t, LineSpacing -> {2, 0}]]Make the height of each line 10 printer's points:
Framed@Text[Style[t, LineSpacing -> {0, 10}]]Single spacing with 5 printer's points of extra space added to each line:
Framed@Text[Style[t, LineSpacing -> {1, 5}]]Magnification (2)

ScriptBaselineShifts (1)
Default placement of subscripts and superscripts:
{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}Shift subscripts down by 2 x-heights:
Style[{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}, ScriptBaselineShifts -> {2, Automatic}]Shift subscripts down by 0 x-heights; shift superscripts up by 2 x-heights:
Style[{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}, ScriptBaselineShifts -> {0, 2}]ScriptMinSize (1)
Use ScriptMinSize to keep exponents from shrinking below a certain font size:
Table[Style[x ^ m ^ n, ScriptMinSize -> min], {min, {6, 9, 12}}]ScriptSizeMultipliers (2)
Use ScriptSizeMultipliers to set the factor by which font size is reduced for superscripts:
Table[Style[x ^ m ^ n, Large, ScriptSizeMultipliers -> ssm], {ssm, {.8, .9, 1.0}}]ScriptSizeMultipliers->list uses different factors for different levels:
{Style[x ^ m ^ n ^ p, Large, ScriptSizeMultipliers -> .8], Style[x ^ m ^ n ^ p, Large, ScriptSizeMultipliers -> {.8, .9, .95}]}ShowStringCharacters (2)
SingleLetterItalics (2)
Make variables with one-letter names appear in an italicized form:
Style[Sin[x y], SingleLetterItalics -> True]Override single-letter italicization for a particular symbol in a TraditionalForm output:
Style[T, SingleLetterItalics -> False] + Sin[x y]//TraditionalFormTextAlignment (1)
