Answer 3

Awesome!
Do you know about spacing?

Answer 4

yeah with the ~

Answer 5

There is also another type of spacing you can use. It gives you the ability to have more precise spacing, and also negative space (to make things closer).
It's the \hpace command.

Answer 6

how do u like it bunny

Answer 7

np

Answer 8

For example, this is the normal spacing, using "~":
\(\Large\color{lime}\bigstar~\color{blueviolet}\bigstar\)

This is using \hspace{10pt}:

\(\Large\color{lime}{\bigstar}\hspace{10pt}\color{blueviolet}{\bigstar}\)

And this is using negative hspace \hspace{-5pt}:

\(\Large\color{lime}{\bigstar}\hspace{-5pt}\color{blueviolet}{\bigstar}\)

Answer 9

ohh

Answer 10

Answer 12

Answer 13

Shapes are easy, you just add the code for the shape where you would type your text.

Some of the common shape codes include:

` \heartsuit ` = \(\heartsuit\)
` \bigstar ` = \(\bigstar\)
` \star ` = \(\star\)

Answer 14

There are hundreds of codes, hold on while I find the Wikipedia page for them.

Answer 20

this is my first day learning about this so i hardly know anything. I just caught on quick because I am your everyday computer programmer

Answer 21

overset like this
\(\Huge\frak\rlap{\color{red}{this}}{\color{blue}{\;this}}\)

Answer 22

http://latex.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_LaTeX_symbols

There's all of the symbols, however some of them don't work on OpenStudy, it's just a matter of testing them and finding out which ones do.

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

No, that's not overset. That's just using hspace to make words overlap.

Answer 30

hello

Answer 31

I see you got more help :D

Answer 32

yup

Answer 33

I ill be afk, doing school.

Answer 34

`\overset` allows you to put characters above other characters.
For example:
\(\Large\bf\color{lime}{\overset{A}{\color{blueviolet}{B}}}\)

The code you would use is:

`\(\Large\bf\color{lime}{\overset{A}{\color{blueviolet}{B}}}\)`

Answer 35

yes siree

Answer 36

\(\Large\bf\color{lime}{\overset{A}{\color{blueviolet}{B}}}\)

Answer 37

gtg going to work so i will see you all around

Answer 38

\(\Huge\frak\color{magenta}{\overset{A}{\color{blue}{B}}}\)

Answer 39

Okay, now about \hspace.

Here's an example:
\(\Large\bf\color{red}{\bigstar}\hspace{10pt}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\)

Code:
`\(\Large\bf\color{red}{\bigstar}\hspace{10pt}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\)`

All you do is add the amount of space you want, any number works.

Answer 40

i dont understand \hpace

Answer 41

What is confusing you about it?

Answer 42

like where do you put it?

Answer 43

like if you are writing text

Answer 44

You put it before the next word that you want to be spaced.
For example:
`\(\bf\color{red}{You're}\hspace{10pt}\color{orange}{Awesome!}\)`

Answer 45

\(\bf\color{red}{did}\hspace{10pt}\color{orange}{I}\hspace{10pt}\color{green}{do~it}\)

Answer 46

Yep! You did it! :D

Answer 47

yay!!!!

Answer 48

By the way, you can use any number of space you want. You could even do something like \hspace{101.5pt}

Answer 49

\(\Large\bf\color{red}{\bigstar}\hspace{-11pt}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\hspace{-11pt}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\) is this one way to do it also

Answer 50

cool

Answer 51

That's using negative hspace. :p

Answer 52

yeah i used -11pt

Answer 53

\(\Huge\tt\color{red}{BYE~GUYS~I~HAVE~~TO~GO}\)

Answer 63

Well, that's up to you.
Those are the basics. After that, we start getting into some more complex topics.
\bbox is an example of something we could do.

Answer 64

sure ok

Answer 65

Okay, so for the boxes:

\(\hspace{6pt}\bbox[30pt, lime,border:5px solid black]{\huge\rm\color{black}{Hello! }}\)

`\(\hspace{6pt}\bbox[30pt, lime,border:5px solid black]{\huge\rm\color{black}{Hello! }}\)`
