Im new here what do i do

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I can explain :D

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So u want to learn \(\LaTeX?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

ok, so first, u want to start everything with \(

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

then end everything with )\

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(hi!\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

see how that looks? try it

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

don't add spaces between it, ok? just make it all connected

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(hi)\

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

oh and end with \) not )\

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

sorry, wrote it wrong up there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(hi\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\huge\color{blue}{yay!!!}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

also, to write a sentence, put ~ in between every word~like~this

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

try writing a sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(so~i~do~it~like~this~@horsegirl27 \)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

yes!!!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

good job!! :D

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Next, sizes. (i'm teaching in order of how u will write the code)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

now, if u want a size, u start with \(\ not just \(

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

then the sixes are tiny, small, large, Large, huge, Huge (the basic sizes at least)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

it will look like \(\Large Hello!\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

so write \{size here}\(message here}

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

after writing the size, u can add the font type

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

@k_lynn do u have all the fonts?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

hmmm. \tiny \small \normalsize \large \Large and \Huge

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

don't forget your beginning and end symbols \(\ \)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

there is \(\huge hi\) \(\Huge hi\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

first one huge, second Huge

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

sure thing.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

no matter what, start with \(\

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

and end with \)

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

I'll keep the ones with the sizes though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\Huge HELLO\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do symobols and colors

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

You would just copy and paste the symbols. @horsegirl27 can explain colors when she comes back online.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

sorry i was gone

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

symbols, u do the same thing,but write heartsuit, bigstar, star and then some others i will get later. i will also explain boxes later. First, lets focus on fonts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

actually, here's some more on sizes

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @thomaster \(\hspace{80pt}\Huge\sf \color{#730000}{Change\ Sizes}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

In \(\LaTeX\) on OpenStudy, we can use a few different text sizes. The syntax for this is \(\bf\color{red}{\backslash(}\color{green}{\backslash size~}\color{blue}{text}\color{red}{\backslash)}\) (don't forget the space after the size tag) For \(\sf\color{green}{\backslash size}\) we can use the following 9 sizes:

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

You can use more sizes in 1 line. Everytime you introduce a new size text, everything after that will be in that size untill you introduce a new one. So \(\bf\color{red}{\backslash(}\color{green}{\backslash Huge~}\color{blue}{hello}\color{green}{\backslash small~}\color{blue}{every}\color{green}{\backslash LARGE~}\color{blue}{one}\color{red}{\backslash)}\) will output: \(\Huge hello\small every\LARGE one\) \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @thomaster \(\hspace{80pt}\Huge\sf \color{#730000}{More\ fonts}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Now this italic text is nice, but we can use way cooler fonts! The syntax for this is: \(\color{red}{\backslash(}\sf\color{green}{\backslash font}\color{blue}{~text }\color{red}{\backslash)}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\sf\color{red}{\backslash(}\color{green}{\backslash bf}\color{blue}{~Hello\sim there!}\color{red}{\backslash)}\) Will become: \( \bf Hello\ there! \)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\LARGE\sf Fonts\ you\ can\ use:\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash sf} \hspace{19pt} \to ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash tt} \hspace{19pt} \to \tt ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash it} \hspace{21pt} \to \it ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash bf} \hspace{15pt} \to \bf ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash rm} \hspace{10pt} \to \rm ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash cal} \hspace{10pt} \to \cal ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash scr} \hspace{10pt} \to \scr ABCDEFabcdef123456\) \(\huge\sf\color{green}{\backslash frak} \to \frak ABCDEFabcdef123456\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\LARGE\sf There\ are\ 2\ exceptions:\) You need to add braces to these fonts in order to use them, so \(\bf\color{red}{\backslash(}\color{green}{\backslash mathbb\{}\color{blue}{text}\color{green}{\} }\color{red}{\backslash)}\) \(\LARGE\sf\color{green}{\backslash mathbb} \to \mathbb{ ABCDEFabcdef123456}\) \(\LARGE\sf\color{green}{\backslash boldsymbol} \to \boldsymbol{ ABCDEFabcdef123456}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\Large\sf How\ to\ use\ 2\ fonts\ in\ 1\ line:\) When you type \sf, everything after that will become Sans-serif until you introduce another font command. So when you type: \(\color{red}{\backslash(}\sf\color{green}{\backslash sf}\color{blue}{~hello\sim everyone\sim i'm}\color{green}{\backslash cal}\color{blue}{~Thomaster!!}\color{red}{\backslash)}\) It will become: \(\sf hello\ everyone\ i'm\ \cal Thomaster!!\) \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

understand font and size now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes how do we combine size and font

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

so start with the usual \(\. then add the size u want. then add\. then write the font.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

don't forget to add \) at the end everytime

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

and makke sure to read those directions ^^^^^ carefully so as not to make mistakes

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

*make

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

ok, now i don't have the full list of color, but ik a few with words u can do, instead of using a code.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

after doing \(\size\font u will then do \color{colorhere}{texthere} u can write the word of the color. red, blue, green, orange, etc. there r some more like lightblue hotpink cornflowerblue, etc.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

try writing hello in orange, with bf font, and size huge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\huge\bf\color{orange}{hello}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

perfect!!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

alright, now i will show u how to do a basic box, u can write something in it.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

so here's my signature: \(\\\bbox [10pt, #00ffab,border:5pt solid blue ]{\color{#872AF0}{\huge\cal ~\heartsuit horsegirl27\heartsuit}}\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I will show u that box.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

the code is \\bbox [10pt, #00ffab,border:5pt solid blue ]{\color{#872AF0}{\huge\cal ~\heartsuit horsegirl27\heartsuit}}

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

don't forget the \(\ at the beginning

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

and \) at the end, ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

so, u do\\ bbox[size and color]{text}

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

u will see i added heartsuit which is \(\Huge\heartsuit\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\\\bbox [10pt, #00ffab,border:5pt solid blue ]{\color{#872AF0}{\huge\cal ~\heartsuit horsegirl27\heartsuit}}\) tada

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

lol

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

so do u understand basic LaTeX?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

no and u need to add like 10pt or something for the size, ok sorry i'm not good at teaching boxes

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

hmm, well ur making a box, just not what u want XDDD @nobrainiachere

OpenStudy (baby_bear69):

You are teaching me more too @horsegirl27 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(hi\)

oh good @Baby_Bear69 :D i have never taught LaTeX before, and it's tricky to explain it

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Glad u at least sort of understand!!
