## Syntax

### base

Argument specification: ``

Used as a non-standard extra-small size switch for subsequent math when a step smaller than \scriptsize is wanted but larger than \tiny.

### textmacros

Argument specification: ``

Uses a non-standard very small text size for subsequent text-mode content inside textmacros text mode, e.g. within \text{...}.

## Examples

```latex
{\Tiny x + y}
```

## In TeXForm

TeXForm parses this entry as declarative syntax; the package determines its argument specification.

### Discouraged in base

\Tiny is marked 'non-standard' in MathJax's BaseMappings.ts, so it is not part of standard LaTeX2e and may reduce portability.

```latex
\Tiny -> \tiny
```

\tiny is a standard LaTeX size declaration and is more portable across LaTeX engines and document classes.

```latex
\Tiny -> \scriptsize
```

\scriptsize is another standard LaTeX size declaration; choosing the nearest standard step avoids relying on MathJax's non-standard \Tiny macro.
