Question

How To Do LaTeX Basics and Boxes: Tutorial

Answer 1

Ok, First off, you need to know that \(\Huge\bf\color{#00b9bc}{ALL}\) LaTeX text commands start with \(\ After that, you need to put what size text you want. http://www.forkosh.com/latex/ltx-178.html If you click on the link, there are the LaTeX sizes. You also need to know that after you pick which size you need to leave no spaces and put a \. Your text command should now look like this then you choose the font type http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/allfonts.html Click on that link to see all available fonts. After that, you put another \ and the word color and then a bracket, { and a # sign to put the hex color code in. Here are some Hex codes http://www.color-hex.com/ Your command should look something like this to stop the color command, you put an ending bracket, }. After you've done that, you put another bracket { to enter your text in. You use ~ for spaces. Your command should look something like this now. You then close the command with an ending bracket }. The last thing you need to remember is that when you end LaTeX, you ALWAYS end it in a \ and a ) but there are no spaces in between them. And that's just the basics.

Answer 2

\(\Huge\scr\color{#ffd700}{Hope~this~helps!}\)

Answer 3

Thank's Babe

Answer 4

You're welcome :)

Answer 5

Very good :)
I see all the LaTeX fonts, but I believe the only fonts on HERE that work are

\(\rm \large \backslash\color{magenta}{sf}\)
\(\rm \large \backslash\color{magenta}{bf}\)
\(\rm \large \backslash\color{magenta}{cal}\)
\(\rm \large \backslash\color{magenta}{scr}\)
\(\rm \large\backslash\color{magenta}{rm}\)
\(\rm \large\backslash\color{magenta}{tt}\)
\(\rm \large \backslash\color{magenta}{it}\)

Where it says 'Put Your Text Here' that is where you put what you want to type :)

\(\rm \large \backslash \color{magenta}{boldsymbol}\color{lime}{\{}\color{red}{Put~Your~Text~Here!}\color{lime}{\}}\)

\(\rm \large \backslash \color{magenta}{mathbb}\color{lime}{\{}\color{red}{Put~Your~Text~Here!}\color{lime}{\}}\)

---This is showing what each font LOOKS LIKE :)---

\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{sf}\) - \(\sf \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{bf}\) - \(\bf \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{cal}\) - \(\cal \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{scr}\) - \(\scr \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{rm}\) - \(\rm \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{tt}\) - \(\tt \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{it}\) - \(\it \large HELLO~hello~12345\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{boldsymbol}\) - \(\boldsymbol{ \large HELLO~hello~12345}\)
\(\rm \large \color{magenta}{mathbb}\) - \(\mathbb{ \large HELLO~hello~12345}\)

Answer 14

Answer 15

\(\huge\jd\blue\{#0066cc}{Hope~I'm~doing~this~right}\)

Answer 16

i think i failed LOL

Answer 17

The format is almost the same...you always start out your LaTeX command with \(\. Now instead of starting a text command, you put bbox and a \. Like this. after you've done that, you need a [. and you put these things inside that bracket. see that I closed that command with a bracket? You can only change anything in the # signs and the hexcode. For example. now that you've closed the bbox command with a bracket, you need to start your text command. You do that like this. Now you've learned how to do a simple box!

Answer 18

this is too hard

Answer 19

you add on the text command like this

Answer 20

well the problem you had with your LaTeX is you forgot to start out by doing \(\

Answer 21

Now you choose a size of text. Example> Huge

Answer 22

now you need to put a \ and the word color

Answer 23

then you put a { and a color code. Then you close that command with another }

Answer 24

to put the text in, you put another {. Then the text you want inside it.

Answer 25

after you're done doing that, you ALWAYS close the command by doing }\)

Answer 26

oh okay let me try one more time

Answer 27

Answer 28

Answer 30

Answer 31
