@dreamcaster teach me plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so the very first thing you need to know is to always start a command with `\(` Then after you've inserted all your code, you end the command with `\)` Here's an example command: `\(\rm\Large\color{red}{Hello!}\)` which makes \(\Large\rm\color{red}{Hello!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, the missing bracket.

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

\(\rm\Large\color{red}{Hello!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\cal\color{blueviolet}{Perfect!}\)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

\(\rm\Large\color}{blue}yay!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now, you can start to play with the different sizes and fonts. The sizes are: \tiny \(\tiny\color{red}{Test}\) \scriptsize \(\scriptsize\color{red}{Test}\) \small \(\small\color{red}{Test}\) \large \(\large\color{red}{Test}\) \Large \(\Large\color{red}{Test}\) \LARGE \(\LARGE\color{red}{Test}\) \huge \(\huge\color{red}{Test}\) Fonts: \it \(\large\it\color{red}{Test}\) \tt \(\large\tt\color{red}{Test}\) \bf \(\large\bf\color{red}{Test}\) \rm \(\large\rm\color{red}{Test}\) \cal \(\large\cal\color{red}{Test}\) \frak \(\large\frak\color{red}{Test}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, for the color, you only need brackets around the color name. Example: `\(\cal\color{blue}{Hello}\)`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Typing almost any color name will work. :)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

can u teach me two colors at once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two colors? Like I did for the "Thanks for using OpenStudy" thing?

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's pretty easy, just use two color codes and separate brackets for the words, for example: `\(\cal\color{blueviolet}{Thanks~for~using~}\color{cornflowerblue}{Open}\color{lightgreen}{Study!}\)` makes \(\cal\color{blueviolet}{Thanks~for~using~}\color{cornflowerblue}{Open}\color{lightgreen}{Study!}\) A simpler concept: `\(\cal\color{blue}{Dream}\color{purple}{Caster}\)` makes \(\cal\color{blue}{Dream}\color{purple}{Caster}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, to insert spaces, use ~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can experiment with it a bit to understand it more. I'm gonna go cook and eat some dinner, now. I should be back in about 20-30 minutes. Have fun! :)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

ok thx

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

\(\cal\color{blueviolet}{Thanks~for~using~}\color{cornflowerblue}{Open}\color{lightgreen}{Study!}\)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

brb

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

in 30 minutes

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

ok back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am back as well :p

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it all making sense so far? :)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

kinda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's confusing you?

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

well its kinda hard to do words like umm when u did \(\cal\color{blue} and then u put dream and then u put }\color{purple}{ and then put caster i did the same thing but put my name in

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

@DreamCaster

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

message me when u come back ok plz

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It is a little difficult at first, yes. Maybe the easiest way to remember it is to remember that after each slash, you're starting a new code. With a new color command, you need a new bracket command, like so: `\(\large\color{red}{This}\color{gold}{~takes}\color{lime}{~practice!}\)` Which makes \(\large\color{red}{This}\color{gold}{~takes}\color{lime}{~practice!}\)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

oh ok thank you

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You're welcome! :) Those are the basics, so once you've practiced them some more, I can show you some more advanced stuff.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You're welcome. It's really fun to play with the different sizes and fonts, as they can make some pretty neat things. After some time, some of the advanced things I can teach you are some other spacing techniques, special characters, and making some really cool artwork.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Have any questions? :)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

no not really @Whitemonsterbunny17

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Okay, just let me know. :)

OpenStudy (daisyduck04):

ok thx @Whitemonsterbunny17

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

\(\Huge\frak\color{purple}{Cookie}\color{black}{Monster}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\cal\color{blue}{Dream}\color{purple}{Caster}\)
