@DanJS lets start from some simple stuff:) come whenever you are done with the problem.

OpenStudy (danjs):

didnt even know this room was such a thing

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

starting from basics. Copy paste from the gray above `\(\large\color{black}{ y=2x }\) `

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I meant below

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{black}{ y=2x }\)

OpenStudy (danjs):

one second, let me get notepad open

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, and you can type stuff in front of it. try to put text and then this latex code

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sure

OpenStudy (danjs):

i see, what are the available variables, for LARGE, and color

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you want different sizes and colors?

OpenStudy (danjs):

for the \large and color{} things

OpenStudy (danjs):

\VERY LARGE color{peach} ?lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, the sizes: (I am posting the smallest and the largest size as an example.) \(\tiny\color{black}{ hello }\) it has a code: `\(\tiny \color{black}{ hello }\)` \(\Huge\color{black}{ hello }\) it has a code: `\(\Huge\color{black}{ hello }\)` you can see the word "tiny" and the word "Huge" in the boxes (respectively). These are the sizes you can use: ` \tiny ` ` \scriptsize ` ` \small ` ` \normalsize ` ` \large ` ` \Large ` ` \LARGE ` ` \huge ` ` \Huge ` \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) I'll do a couple of examples of using sizes: Example 1) \(\huge\color{black}{ hello }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{\left| \right| }\) I put in `\(\huge\color{black}{ hello }\)`\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) Example 2) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ understand? }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }\) I put in `\(\normalsize\color{black}{ understand? }\)`\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) Now, a couple of examples of using sizes and fonts:\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) Example 3) \(\Large\color{black}{ \rm{no:)} }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) I put in `\(\Large\color{black}{ \rm{no:)} }\)`\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) Example 4) \(\small\color{black}{ \frak{ Yes. } }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) I put in `\(\small\color{black}{ \frak{ Yes. } }\)` \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) Example 5) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \scr{ Slow} }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) I put in `\(\normalsize\color{black}{ \scr{ Slow } }\)` \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) then below there are more examples: \(\Large\color{black}{ \bf{ L }\bf{\small o}\bf{ L } }\) `\(\Large\color{black}{ \bf{ L }\bf{\small o}\bf{ L } }\)` \(\Large\color{black}{ {\rm what} ever! }\) `\(\Large\color{black}{ {\rm what} ever! }\)` Here, in this example, you can see how you stop a particular font: Once I typed the font `\rm` inside the `{ }` it is now limited to whatever is inside the `{ }` . Putting `\rm{ }` would not "bound" the font. (See what I am saying?) Lets go with one more example: \(\Large\color{black}{ {\bf \huge 0}pen{\bf \huge $}tudy\tt{!} }\) `\(\Large\color{black}{ {\bf \huge 0}pen{\bf \huge $}tudy\tt{!} }\)` you can notice how writing `\huge` inside the `{ }`, is also a limit/stop to the text to which this size applies, and then the original size (and the previous/original font) continues to "rule".

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sorry for long reply

OpenStudy (danjs):

wow lol one sec

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes. if you need to read above take your time.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

when you put the code, also you need to put: `\(\large\color{black}{ ` particular code `}\)` // // // size color your code

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you don't need to take your time reading all this,. we can take it bite by bite together

OpenStudy (danjs):

i see, just went through it all, what are the possible colors

OpenStudy (danjs):

i know programming so this is straight forward

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The color doesn't have to be black, it can be blue red or any other. The colors I primarily use are: \(\Large\color{black}{ \rm{black} }\) \(\Large\color{blueviolet}{ \rm{blueviolet} }\)\(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) \(\Large\color{blue}{ \rm{blue} }\) \(\Large\color{cyan }{ \rm{cyan } }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) \(\Large\color{lime}{ \rm{lime} }\) \(\Large\color{green}{ \rm{green} }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) \(\Large\color{red}{ \rm{red} }\) \(\Large\color{darkgoldenrod}{ \rm{darkgoldenrod} }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(you can find more in legendary latex tutorial if you want)

OpenStudy (danjs):

hah \(\Large\color{darkgoldenrod}{ \bf{hahahaha }}\)

OpenStudy (danjs):

darkgoldenrod.. lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes (lost connection just now because of latex dump that I created )

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I made darkgoldenrod up:)

OpenStudy (danjs):

So is there a simple app that has this stuff already built in, so that you can just click buttons and type, then copy paste in here?

OpenStudy (danjs):

or should i make one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

well, you mainly need to know that: (using size large and color blue in example) `\(\large\color{blue}{ ` `}\)`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

but there is much more once you grasp basics

OpenStudy (danjs):

special characters is what i would be most interested in

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

like theta?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

heart?

OpenStudy (danjs):

like line integral, or the Real number symbol, stuff like that

OpenStudy (danjs):

cyclic integral

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

will get to this, first we need to see the principle of adding \ everywhere where the equation editor adds it automatically.

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{blue}{k }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you aren't done, mostly likely.... When you type latex in text, without an equation editor, you can likely encounter one unpleasant thing. Lets say you want to put: "theta is equal to one" and if you type this code: `\(\large\color{black}{ theta=1 }\)` then you would (only) get: \(\large\color{black}{ theta=1 }\) (but this is incomplete, as you can clearly see. It would have worked in an equation editor to put just "theta =1", but) here you need to add to the code: this is your code: `\(\large\color{black}{ \theta=1 }\)` (the \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \text{\ } }\) before word theta). And this is what this code is going to give you: \(\large\color{black}{ \theta=1 }\) . (I am going to use a latex with a \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm blue }\) color, `\(\large\color{blue}{ }\)` , just not to have to use black all the time.) Like these are you and the most usual should you ones I use: type get ` \pm ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \pm }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \pm }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \mp ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \mp }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \mp }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \pi ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \pi }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \pi }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \theta ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \theta }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \theta }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \approx ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \approx }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \approx }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \neq ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \neq }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \neq }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \le ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \le }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \le }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \ge ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \ge }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \ge }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \angle ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \angle }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \angle }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \infty ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \infty }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \infty }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \Rightarrow ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \Rightarrow }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \Rightarrow }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \bullet ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \bullet }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \bullet }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \smile ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \smile }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \smile }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \Delta ` `\(\large\color{blue}{ \Delta }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \Delta }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \frac{ dy }{ dx} ` `\(\Large\color{green}{ \frac{ dy}{ dx} }\)` \(\Large\color{blue}{ \frac {dy }{ dx } }\) \(\huge\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \times ` `\(\Large\color{green}{ \times }\)` \(\Large\color{blue}{ \times }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) ` \div ` `\(\Large\color{green}{ \div }\)` \(\Large\color{blue}{ \div }\) \(\LARGE\color{white}{ \left| \right| }\) you see you have to put \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \text{\ } }\) in front of the words: times, div, theta, approx, and etc.

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\Huge\color{goldenrod}{ Awesome, that _ Is _ Very_Nice}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

lol:)

OpenStudy (danjs):

ha what is space

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

~

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{blue}{This~is~spaced }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can put ~~ for more space and ~~~~~ will be more space (and on)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can do this: `\(\large\color{blue}{ {\rm I~~am~~here} }\)` you get: \(\large\color{blue}{ {\rm I~~am~~here} }\)

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{blue}{very~~~~~~~~~~~~\b Spaced }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\b ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

what is the bold thing

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what did you put?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

bold font?

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah , thought it ws the \b

OpenStudy (danjs):

oh \bf

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{blue}{ {\bf yes} }\) `\(\large\color{blue}{ {\bf yes} }\)`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{blue}{ {\bf ;D} }\)

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{blue}{very~~~~~~ \bf Bold \Huge Spaced }\)

OpenStudy (danjs):

cool, thanks for all this

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

when you post a font, do this: { \bf } this will bound the font to everything inside the { } Like \(\large\color{blue}{ {\bf yes,} ~~normal~~font~~goes~~on. }\) `\(\large\color{blue}{ {\bf yes,} ~~normal~~font~~goes~~on. }\)` but do NOT do: `\(\large\color{blue}{ \bf {yes,} ~~normal~~font~~goes~~on. }\)` \(\large\color{blue}{ \bf {yes,} ~~normal~~font~~goes~~on. }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

to bound the font, put it in { } such ` { \rm }` but if you do `\rm{ }` it doesn't stop the font. See?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

feel good with fonts?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

An example of how we can use this color is: \(\LARGE\color{white}{ _{\left| \right|} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ x+2=4 }\) (line 1) \(\large\color{black}{ x+2\color{red}{-2}=4\color{red}{-2} }\) (line 2) \(\large\color{black}{ x=2 }\) (line 3) the way I did it that I had: `\(\large\color{black}{ x+2=4 }\)` to begin with; just a basic latex coding, right? (this is the first line) Then, I wrote `\color{red}{-2}` on both sides of the equations, like this: `\(\large\color{black}{ x+2 \color{red}{-2} =4 \color{red}{-2} }\)` \(\large\color{red}{ \large \lfloor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\rfloor }\) \(\large\color{red}{ \large \lfloor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\rfloor }\) (I pointed the change with red floor brackets.) and this is how I obtained line 2. Then line 3, (as far as latex goes) doesn't make much difference. I just put: `\(\large\color{black}{ x=2 }\)` .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

when you can proceed tell me.

OpenStudy (danjs):

i see, so you type all that manually everytime you enter something?

OpenStudy (danjs):

macro keys?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

type what?

OpenStudy (danjs):

all of the formatting for font and color and everything

OpenStudy (danjs):

have to type all that for every response if you want to change it

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, but you don't need to add `\(\large\color{black}{ ` ` }\) ` everytime though.

OpenStudy (danjs):

\(\large\color{black}{ ok }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can do this: \(\large\color{black}{ \color{red}{x}= \pm 30~~~,~~~\color{blue}{y} =45 }\) `\(\large\color{black}{ \color{red}{x}= \pm 30~~~,~~~\color{blue}{y} =45 }\) `

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

like you can say this: `No, \(\large\color{red}{ \theta=1 }\) ` get: No, \(\large\color{red}{ \theta=1 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am able to type those inside the text, unlike the equation edtior

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

please show me a bit of skill of typing inside the text

OpenStudy (danjs):

i see, so you actually have to type large color { } formats out, maybe need to set up a couple macro keys so like G1 or some key is already \(\large\color{black}{ The~pre \color{red}{ \bf ~~~~Things}} ~~so~you~can~just ~type~words~and ~whatever \)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes. you can type a huge salad of normal words, just like any typing on here, and of latex

OpenStudy (danjs):

like hit G1 key will put in \(\large\color{black}{Pre-Format~For~this ~Line }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

cool:)

OpenStudy (danjs):

cool, thanks a bunch man, i didnt even know this existed... THought people were using a 3rd party program

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(a)}\) `\(\large\color{black}{\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(a)}\)` something wrong right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

lets fix that (I made up this small trick) `\(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(a)}\)` \(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(a)}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

see what i change?

OpenStudy (danjs):

displaystyle

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes. And this is cool, \(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~a}f(a)}\) inside the text.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) `\(\large\color{black}{\sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) ` //\\ wrong //\\

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) `\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) ` correct:)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=1 }^{ \infty } ~ f(n)}\) is a sigma notation. (I know you know, but just showing it being typed in text)

OpenStudy (danjs):

displaystyle puts the things on one character space

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

for integrals sigmas and limits

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

`\(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~}f(x)~dx}\) ` \(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~}f(x)~dx}\)
