Answer 7

@andrewhaze
Here are the basics.
You start with a `\(\` and end with a `\)`.

Answer 8

\(\Huge\sf Basic~\LaTeX\)

When using LaTeX you start by placing `\(` at the start and `\)` when you have finished. For example you can type `\(Example\)` and it will come out as \(Example\)



\(\Huge\sf Fonts\)

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{Command}&\sf{Outcome}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash tt}&\sf{\tt{tt}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash it}&\sf{\it{it}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash sf}&\sf{\sf{sf}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash bf}&\sf{\bf{bf}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash rm}& \sf{\rm{rm}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash cal}& \sf{\cal{cal}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash scr}& \sf{\scr{scr}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash frak}& \sf{\frak{frak}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash mathbb}& \sf{\mathbb{MATHBB}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash boldsymbol}& \sf{\boldsymbol{boldsymbol}}\\\hline
\end{array}\)

For example, you can type `\(\sf{\LaTeX}\)` and it will come out as \(\sf{\LaTeX}\)



\(\Huge\sf{Sizes}\)

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{Command}&\sf{Outcome}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash tiny}&\sf{\tiny{tiny}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash Tiny}&\sf{\Tiny{Tiny}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash scriptsize}&\sf{\scriptsize{scriptsize}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash small}&\sf{\small{small}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash normalsize}&\sf{\normalsize{normalsize}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash large}& \sf{\large{large}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash Large}& \sf{\Large{Large}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash LARGE}& \sf{\LARGE{LARGE}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash huge}& \sf{\huge{huge}}\\\hline
\sf{\backslash Huge}& \sf{\Huge{Huge}}\\\hline
\end{array}\)
For example `\(\Huge{Example}\)` comes out as \(\Huge{Example}\)




\(\Huge\sf{Colors}\)

\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf\Large predefined\ colors&\sf\Large hexadecimal\\\hline
\sf\Large\color{maroon}{maroon}&\sf\Large\color{#FF0000}{\#FF0000}\\\hline

\end{array} Credit to colors goes to @thomaster

For example, you can type `\(\color{blueviolet}{Example}\)` and it will come out as \(\color{blueviolet}{Example}\)



\(\Huge\sf Bounding Box\)

`\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px solid black]{\bf\huge Example}\)`
&
`\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px dotted black]{\bf\huge Example}\)`
&
`\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px dashed black]{\bf\huge Example}\)` with those you would get

\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px solid black]{\bf\huge Example}\)
&
\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px dotted black]{\bf\huge Example}\)
&
\(\bbox[5pt, white ,border:5px dashed black]{\bf\huge Example}\)



\(\Huge\sf{Boxes}\)

`\(\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{Example}}}\)` comes out as \(\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{Example}}}\)



\(\Huge\sf{mbox}\)

This is simple. the command is \mbox so you can do things like
`\(\mbox{Hi i dont need the approx symbol to space my words}\)` Comes out as \(\mbox{Hi i dont need the approx symbol to space my words}\)



\(\Huge\sf{fbox}\)

This is the same thing as \mbox but it has a box around it. For example, `\(\fbox{Example}\)` comes out as \(\fbox{Example}\)



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

With whacky LaTeX you use the symbols `^` and `_` to make the letter smaller and more towards the top or smaller and more towards the bottom.
For example `\(\Huge{_Wh^ac_kY^!!_!}\)` comes out as \(\Huge{_Wh^ac_kY^!!_!}\)



\(\Huge\sf{Macros}\)

Macros are used to make multiple of something without writing it out all over again, it is also used to make commands. For example, you can type `\(\def\OS{OpenStudy}\OS\)` and it will come out as \(OpenStudy\) and so now, all you need to type, is `\(\OS\)` and it will come out as \(OpenStudy\)


\(\Huge\sf Hyperlinks\)

Hyperlinks are simple, all you need to type, is this, `\(\href{http:///openstudy.com/study#/updates/5511e873e4b08daf898953a8}{Click~here~to~go~to~a~tutorial}\)` and it will come out as \(\href{http:///openstudy.com/study#/updates/5511e873e4b08daf898953a8}{Click~here~to~go~to~a~tutorial}\) and once you click it, it will bring you to whatever website you placed into the code.



\(\Huge\sf{rlap}\)

With rlap all you have to type is `\(\rlap{\color{red}{Example}}{\color{blueviolet}{\: Example}}\)` and it will come out as \(\rlap{\color{red}{Example}}{\color{blueviolet}{\: Example}}\)



\(\Huge\sf{hspace}\)

hspace moves things to the left or right. The way you would do this is, `\(\hspace{+100pt}{Example}\)` and it would come out as \(\hspace{+100pt}{Example}\)



\(\Huge\sf{Combining~commands}\)

To combine commands such as, colors, fonts, and sizes, you would type something like this, `\(\Huge\sf\color{blueviolet}{Example}\)` and it would come out as \(\Huge\sf\color{blueviolet}{Example}\)



\(\hspace{+70pt}\Huge\sf{Share~the~\LaTeX}\)
```
\(\sf\href{http:///openstudy.com/study#/updates/55122d18e4b08daf8989bf80}{\Huge\rlap{\color{silver}{Nobrainiacher\color{silver}e's~tutorial}}\hspace{+3pt}{\color{red}N\color{orange}o\color{gold}b\color{lime}r\color{greenyellow}a\color{blue}i\color{purple}n\color{blueviolet}i\color{violet}a\color{magenta}c\color{red}h\color{orange}e\color{gold}r\color{lime}e\color{greenyellow}'\color{blue}s~\color{purple}t\color{blueviolet}u\color{violet}t\color{magenta}o\color{red}r\color{orange}i\color{gold}a\color{lime}l}}\)

Answer 9

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

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 10

so you have to do (/ \)

Answer 11

\(\sf\huge{Spacing}\)

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
\(hi\hspace{-1pt}hi\)
