the normal % character is a little bit bigger than numbers so I want to reduce its size by the command {\small }
. I tried it with the command \renewcommand{\%}{{\small \%}}
but that produces the error: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [grouping levels=255] \%
It's possible to solve it by entering \newcommand{\test}{{\small \%}}
but that leaves me to change the expression in around 30 documents with a possibility of making an error myself.
MWE:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\renewcommand{\%}{{\small \%}}
\begin{document}
\%
{\small \%}
(1\%)
(1{\small \%})
\end{document}
