Jaynator495's Complete Ultimate LaTeX Tutorial 2! :)
Important... Read in the order the post is in... otherwise some areas might not make sense if your just starting latex

Answer 1

\(\sf\huge{Basic~\LaTeX}\)

The first thing you need to know about \(\LaTeX\), just like anything else your just learning, is the basics ;). \(\LaTeX\) requares symbols in the beggining "/(" and in the end "\)" inside the symbols you put the parameters (Input) for the \(\LaTeX\), Your Output All Depends on what you put inside the parameters. \(\LaTeX\) is very simple to do, however if you dont understand the fundamentals its a very hard subject.\(\LaTeX\) is a side of MathJex, we have more of what is know as MathJex then \(\LaTeX\). however in this totorial I will be teaching both under whats available, HOWEVER, I WILL NOT be teaching the math symbols and stuff like that... I may update it at a later date for it but as of this moment it stays how it is. \(\LaTeX\) is a type of Syntax Text coding type, Understanding Syntax will help you learn this MUCH faster, a good example on one that would help is LUA (The syntax programming type used on many things for example, ROBLOX.). Other text coding that knowing some of will help you in this is, HTML (all forms), Unicode, and Acsii. To see the code to somone elses \(\LaTeX\) right click it and click tex command... if you copy and paste it DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE ENTRY SYMBOLS! One last thing, look throughout the \(\LaTeX\) community here on OS and look for some \(\LaTeX\) then right click on it, go to view \(\LaTeX\) and look at what the code is. Once you got the code, observe it and dicect it then try to enter your own version of it. Keep looking at it and trying until it works in the preview box. Using that method you can teach yourself \(\LaTeX\) in down to maybe even 24mins (Thats the time it took me to teach myself after I learned about "\(" and "\)".) Good luck on Learning! :)

Answer 2

\(\sf\huge{Basic~\LaTeX~Entry}\)

Basic LaTeX 101 how to format it so it will work \(BasicLaTeXEntry\)
`\(BasicLaTeXEntry\)` is what i eneterd. this is the formating for nothing special... its the normal text no art, just semi normal text.

Answer 3

\(\sf\huge{Spacing}\)

The normal spacing between words in the \(\LaTeX\) has a ~ between the words, if your wondering were this key is, its most of the time above the tab key below the esc key. if i were to enter
`\(hi~welcome~to~openstudy\)`
the output would be
\(hi~welcome~to~openstudy\)
there are infact other types of spacing, and they are,

\space
larger space

\;
large space
\(hi\;hi\)

\:
mid space
\(hi\:hi\)

\,
small space
\(hi\,hi\)

\!
negative space (touches together)
\(hi\!hi\)

\quad
huge space
\(hi\quad hi\)

\qquad
2x huge space
\(hi\qquad hi\)

\hspace{pt}
space size of your choice (input the number of pt you want the size right before pt... for example 5pt or 12512pt you can also make a negative space with -256pt or -512pt)
\(hi\hspace{1pt}hi\)
OR
\(hi\hspace{-1pt}hi\)

Answer 4

\(\sf\huge{Text~Sizes}\)

There are many different text sizes, these can be used for emphesis, huge text, attention grabbers, etc.

Answer 6

There is a large list of predefined colors, however theres millions of colors you can use with latex, you can put hexidecimal color codes in the color choice box, any hexidecimal color code works.
\(\href{http:///www.color-hex.com/color-wheel/}{\sf\color{teal}{Here~Is~A~Good~Site~To~Get~Hexidecimal~Color~Codes~Nice~And~Easy}}\)

I Think I Got All The Predifined Colors, If There Are Any I Missed Please Let Me Know!
List of predifined colors

\(\color{teal}{Test~Text}\)
teal

\(\color{gold}{Test~Text}\)
gold

\(\color{white}{Test~Text}\)
white

\(\color{black}{Test~Text}\)
black

\(\color{darkblue}{Test~Text}\)
darkblue

\(\color{darkgreen}{Test~Text}\)
darkgreen

\(\color{green}{Test~Text}\)
green

\(\color{red}{Test~Text}\)
red

\(\color{blue}{Test~Text}\)
blue

\(\color{darkred}{Test~Text}\)
darkred

\(\color{lightblue}{Test~Text}\)
lightblue

\(\color{lightgreen}{Test~Text}\)
lightgreen

\(\color{orange}{Test~Text}\)
orange

\(\color{darkorange}{Test~Text}\)
darkorange

\(\color{goldenrod}{Test~Text}\)
goldenrod

\(\color{violet}{Test~Text}\)
violet

\(\color{purple}{Test~Text}\)
purple

\(\color{cyan}{Test~Text}\)
cyan

\(\color{darkcyan}{Test~Text}\)
darkcyan

\(\color{lightcyan}{Test~Text}\)
lightcyan

Answer 7

\(\sf\huge{Boxed~Text}\)

With this you can box you text, or you can even box a box a box a box a text.

\(\boxed{Test~Text}\)
`\(\boxed{Test~Text}\)`

Or For Multiple

\(\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{Test~Text}}}}\)
`\(\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{Test~Text}}}}\)`
So for every extra box you want around your text you need a extra bracket ("}") at the end AND you need before you put the "\" for the next box to put another bracket ("{") before the "\".

Answer 8

\(\sf\huge{Bounding~Boxs}\)

With this you can bound boxes together, however this one you can color the outline AND color the inside. However for more then one you still need what I said above

\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue ,border:5pt solid blue]{Test~Text}\)
`\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue ,border:5pt solid blue]{Test~Text}\)`
OR
\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue]{Test~Text}\)
`\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue]{Test~Text}\)`
OR
\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue ,border:5px solid blue]{Test~Text}\)
`\(\bbox[5pt,skyblue ,border:5px solid blue]{Test~Text}\)`
The 1st and 2nd 5pt (and/or 5px) you can change to make any size you want (similar to the hspace I mentioned earlier)

[5pt, color.of.the.inside.you.want ,border:5pt color.of.the.border.you.want]
the border and after is optional... this is only if you want a border on your bbox

Answer 9

\(\sf\huge{Overlaping~Text}\)

Rlap is to overlap your text, not really much more to say about that.

\(\rlap{\color{blue}{Test~Text}}{\color{teal}{\:Test~Text}}\)
`\(\rlap{\color{blue}{Test~Text}}{\color{teal}{\:Test~Text}}\)`

To Better Show You Whats Going On There I'm Going To Use Parenthesis, When You Are Entering The Command Do NOT Use The Parenthesis As It Will NOT Work!

`\(\rlap{\color{(color you want to use for the lower layer here)}{(Text You Want For The Lower Layer}}{\color{(color you want for the lower layer here)}{(Spacing You Want Here this is important otherwise they'll be directly underneath eachother and you wont be able to see the shadow effect if you will)(Text you want for the top layer here)}}\)`

Answer 10

\(\sf\huge{HyperLinks}\)

This is used to put links in chat in \(\LaTeX\) formating!

\(\href{http:///ultrilliam.do.am/}{Test~Text}\)
`\(\href{http:///ultrilliam.do.am/}{Test~Text}\)`
For links out of openstudy you need to use 3 "/"'s insead of 2, But for links in openstudy...

\(\href{//www.openstudy.com/}{Test~Text}\)
`\(\href{//www.openstudy.com/}{Test~Text}\)`

Once again im going to use parenthesis to show you how this works, so don't use parenthesis when you are entering the command
`\(\href{//(link you want here)/{(text you want the button to say here)}\)`

Answer 11

\(\sf\huge{Entering~More~Then~One~Line\\With~One~Latex~String}\)

This is a very simple but yet, VERY usefull feature in \(\LaTeX\). You may not need it much for basic stuff, but all in all, it REALLY helps for the advanced stuff!

To skip to the next line while typing latex, just put "\\" next to the word you want to end that line... For Example.
\(Test\\Text\)
`\(Test\\Text\)`
As you can see by the above, everytime i put \\ it goes to the next line without starting a new string of \(\LaTeX\).

Answer 12

\(\sf\huge{Underlines}\)

This is a very simple, yet complex feature at the same time. It allows you to put a line under your \(\LaTeX\).

\(\underline{Test~Text}\)

`\(\underline{Test~Text}\)`
As you can see the command is "\underline{}"

Answer 13

\(\sf\huge{Overlines}\)

This is a very simple, yet complex feature at the same time. It allows you to put a line over your \(\LaTeX\).

\(\overline{Test~Text}\)

`\(\overline{Test~Text}\)`
As you can see the command is "\overline{}"

Answer 14

\(\sf\huge{Invisible~\LaTeX}\)

This Is So Simple It Doesn't Need To Be Said.
All you have to do is \(\LaTeX\) with a white color.

Answer 15

\(\sf\huge{Hidden~\LaTeX}\)

\(\hspace{500pt}{Hidden~\LaTeX}\)
`\(\hspace{500pt}{Hidden~\LaTeX}\)`
You simply use hspace with a 500pt value so its off the screen, then to view it you just view the \(\LaTeX\) command.

Answer 16

\(\sf\huge{Whacky~\LaTeX}\)

In \(\LaTeX\) there are easter eggs, one of them is you can use "^" and "_" to shrink a letter and put it closer to the top or bottom

\(T^es_t~^Te_xt^)\)
`\(T^es_t~^Te_xt^)\)`
Unfortantly though, you cant put more then one for each digit... if you did ^t^e^s^t^ it wouldn't work, you can only do it 2 digits apart.
HOWEVER you can do this
\(^{Test~Text}\)
Or
\(_{Test~Text}\)

`\(^{Test~Text}\)`
Or
`\(_{Test~Text}\)`

Answer 17

\(\sf\huge{Combining~\LaTeX~Commands}\)

Of course you can combine \(\LaTeX\) commands to make amazing things (in version 3 I'll add WAY more to this section, sorry that atm theres not much for this.)

For example I combined overline+underline+whacky\(\LaTeX\)+rlap to make my \(\LaTeX\) signiture, the result was this...
\(\huge\sf\rlap{\color{lime}{\hspace{-1.55px}-^Ja_ynator^49_5-}}{\sf\color{lime}{\overline{\underline{\color{blue}{-^Ja_ynator^49_5-}}}}}\)
`\(\huge\sf\rlap{\color{lime}{\hspace{-1.55px}-^Ja_ynator^49_5-}}{\sf\color{lime}{\overline{\underline{\color{blue}{-^Ja_ynator^49_5-}}}}}\)`

Answer 18

\(\sf\huge{share~the~\LaTeX}\)

\(\href{http:///openstudy.com/study#/updates/5491fcc4e4b01cc001531c1d/}{\bf\large\rlap{\bbox[4.5pt, black]{\color{Orange}{Please~Click~Here~For~~~dddddddddddddddddd~~~~~~~~}}}\color{Red}{\,Please~Click~Here~~~~~~~~~~}\rlap{\bbox[2.5pt, black]{\color{Teal}{A~Complete~}LaTeX~Tutorial}}\color{blue}{\,A~Complete~LaTeX~Tutorial}~~~2}\)

Answer 45

What do you mean when you said this

"Unfortantly though, you cant put more then one for each digit... if you did ^t^e^s^t^ it wouldn't work, you can only do it 2 digits apart."

\(t^{e^{s^t}}\) \(\leftarrow\) you can do it like this though. You got to make sure you have the { } symbols around each one (I forgot what you call them ._.) Anyways you can just keep on going and going and going

\(\Large\rm s^{u^{p^{e^{r^{c^{a^{l^{i^{f^{r^{a^{g^{i^{l^{i^{s^{t^{i^{c^{e^{x^{p^{i^{a^{l^{i^{d^{o^{c^{i^{o^{u^{s}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}\)
