Question

Grand Ole LaTeX tutorial!

What is LaTeX?
Latex is a form of code used to format lengthy text documents into a professional format. On our system we have different forms of it that let you use more mathematical formulas. We cant do major layout editing but math...we can do. The wonderful OpenStudy coding staff has made a button you can click to put in formulas for you called the "equation" button which is seen under the reply box.

This is made using resources from the main LaTeX support site with major contributions from @kymber @thomaster @ParthKohli and @dmezzullo
So, LETS GET STARTED!

Answer 1

How To Write Basic Codes

You start out by using the following format
\(Text Here\)
That will output:
TextHere

Now, notice the lack of spacing. That can be fixed simply by adding the squiggly key ~ or the latex space formula which looks like this :/ When you put that or the squiggly key in between words you get a space as the output.
Fun fact! The squiggly key is my favorite key on the entire keyboard!

Answer 2

How To Change Sizes:

QUICK TIP!

The backslash that you use in front of the sizes is a command. These can be used to tell the code what to do. If you dont use them it will look like text and will not do any function that you want it to.

To add a size you would write the code like this:
\(\Large Hello\) which would look like this:
Hello

There are muliple sizes in the LaTeX codes shown below:

\tiny
\(\tiny Hello\)
Hello

\scriptsize
\(\scriptsize Hello\)
Hello

\small
\(\small Hello\)
Hello

\normalsize
\(\normalsize Hello\)
Hello

\large
\(\large Hello\)
Hello

\Large (Some sizes can be changed simply by adding a capital letter(s))
\(\Large Hello\)
Hello

\LARGE
\(\LARGE Hello\)
Hello

\huge
\(\huge Hello\)
Hello

\Huge
\(\Huge Hello\)
Hello

Answer 3

\(\LARGE {How~To~Change~Colors}\)

QUICK HINT!
In this part of the tutorial we will start using different parenthesis to add more commands. We will be using Braces which look like this {}

To add color the command will be \color{desired color here}{Text to be colored here}

Put the size plus the color command together and you get :
*\(\Large \color{red}{Hello}\)*
Which looks like:
\Large \color{red}{Hello}
