Question

Can someone please show me how to do all of this latex stuff? I know there are instructions all over the place but I really don't get it. p-q

Answer 1

@mathstudent55 @undeadknight26 @iGreen

Answer 2

Sure, what do you need to know?

Answer 3

When I welcome new users, I want to make it fancy. I want to be able to type a large an attention calling "Welcome to Openstudy!" What should I do?

Answer 4

Well, first you should know that all LaTeX commands end with \) and start with \(.

Now, we should probably start with sizes.

Answer 5

'kay.

Answer 6

\(\begin{array}{ll}
\large\sf\color{green}{\backslash tiny}&\Large\to\sf\tiny ABCDEFabcdef123456\\
\large\sf\color{green}{\backslash scriptsize}&\Large\to\sf\scriptsize ABCDEFabcdef123456\\
\large\sf\color{green}{\backslash small}&\Large\to\sf\small ABCDEFabcdef123456\\
\large\sf\color{green}{\backslash normalsize}&\Large\to\sf\normalsize ABCDEFabcdef123456\\

\large\sf\color{green}{\backslash Huge}&\Large\to\sf\Huge ABCDEFabcdef123456\\
\end{array}\)

Answer 7

These are the commands for how big or how small you want your LaTeX to be.

Now we put them in like this:

\(\Huge{Cool}\)

Answer 8

Okay... Let me try..

(/Large/WelcomeToOopenstudy/)

Answer 9

:[

Answer 10

\( \Huge {Cool} \ )
^ How big you want it

\( \Huge {Cool} \ )
^ What you want to say

Answer 11

\(\Large{WelcomeToOpenstudy}\)

Answer 12

Oh my gosh I did it!

Answer 13

Yep, to write spaces just put ~ between the words.

Answer 14

\(\Large{Welcome~To~Openstudy}\)

Answer 15

Okay lets see..

\(\Large{Welcome~to~Openstudy}\)

Answer 16

Oh
\(\scr\Large\color{darkorchid}{Welcome~to~Openstudy!}\)

Answer 37

That failed. :/

Answer 38

Yeah, and the fonts glitch sometimes, and only do the first letter, so it's best to go without fonts, unless you do each letter separately.

Answer 39

(like that)

Answer 40

I usually go without fonts.

Answer 41

\(\sf\Large\color{darkorchid}{Welcome~to~Openstudy!}\)

Answer 50

How?

Answer 51

I tried doing each letter separately.

Answer 52

No problem! Have fun with \(\LaTeX\).

\huge\color{red}R\color{orange}a\color{yellow}i\color{lime}n\color{blue}b\color{indigo}o\color{purple}w

Answer 54

\(\href{//www.google.com}{\Huge\sf\color{blue}G\color{red}o\color{yellow}o\color{blue}g\color{green}l\color{red}e}\)

Answer 55

Wow. Cool. I gtg. :]


\(\sf\Large\color{orangered}{See~ya~later!}\)

Answer 56

You can use links too, but they only work for open study links. You can read the \(\href{http:///openstudy.com/code-of-conduct}{\sf Code~of~Conduct}\) to find out more information about Open Study!

Answer 57

Oh, you can right click LaTeX with your mouse and click 'Show Math As', then click 'TeX Commands' so you can see the command that person used to write the LaTeX.

But it doesn't have the beginning and end commands in it, so you have to add those yourself.

Answer 58

Wow okay. Bye

Answer 59

Okay, I'll stop bugging you now.

Bye!
