I'm new at LaTeX and I've been reading many questions-answers, but I still can't find something that works for what I need.
I'm using the covington
package because I'm working with gloss
. So, this is what I have:
\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article}
%more packages and things here
\usepackage{covington}
\begin{document}
\section{bla bla bla}
Text here
\begin{example}
\gll El hombre mira \textbf{a} esta mujer
The.DET man.MASC {looks at.TRANS} {} {this.DET} woman.FEM
\glt 'The man looks at this woman'
\glend
\end{example}
\end{document}
What I want to do is to make the font size of the example smaller (10pt
, maybe?), because I have some examples that are a bit longer and they look terrible (the lines break and I have like half of the page with only one example).
Any tip?

For a single example, you can use a font size changing command at the beginning of the environment, such as
The effect is local to that environment, so the size will be normal after

.For a global and consistent change, you could use for example
etoolbox
:If you don't want do load
etoolbox
, you can patch it yourself, also in your preamble:And if you also would like to avoid using internal macros, which is a good thought, you could do it by
