Question

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


It’s been a while…. Figured I might as well make something for the QC community.

Please don’t respond until I am done sending all portions (I’ll say “done” when I’m finished).

Answer 1

Complete LaTeX Guide (as of May 6th):

Answer 2

The Basics:
```
\(heythere\)
```
This is the basic \(\sf{\LaTeX}\), which turns into this.
\(heythere\)

Answer 3

Spacing:
```
\(hey~there\)
```
The tilde (~) is the basic space in \(\sf{\LaTeX}\).
There are many other spaces as well, here is a list.

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{Command}&\sf{Outcome}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\space}}&\sf{Hey\space There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\;}}&\sf{Hey\; There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\:}}&\sf{Hey\: There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\,}}&\sf{Hey\, There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\thinspace}}&\sf{Hey\thinspace There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\nobreakspace}}&\sf{Hey\nobreakspace There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\!}}&\sf{Hey\! There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\negmedspace}}&\sf{Hey\negmedspace There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\negthickspace}}&\sf{Hey\negthickspace There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\negthinspace}}&\sf{Hey\negthinspace There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\quad}}&\sf{Hey\quad There}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\qquad}}&\sf{Hey\qquad There}\\\hline
\end{array}\)

Answer 4

Text Sizes:
Here is the list of text sizes, in order of smallest to largest.

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{Size}&\sf{Outcome}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\substack}}&\sf{\substack{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\scriptstyle}}&\sf{\scriptstyle{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\scriptscriptstyle}}&\sf{\scriptscriptstyle{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\tiny}}&\sf{\tiny{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\Tiny}}&\sf{\Tiny{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\scriptsize}}&\sf{\scriptsize{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\small}}&\sf{\small{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\normalsize}}&\sf{\normalsize{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\large}}&\sf{\large{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\Large}}&\sf{\Large{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\LARGE}}&\sf{\LARGE{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\huge}}&\sf{\huge{Text}}\\\hline
\sf{\text{\Huge}}&\sf{\Huge{Text}}\\\hline
\end{array}\)

Answer 5

Fonts:
There are many fonts on \(\sf{\LaTeX}\), but here are the ones QC allows for use of.

Answer 6

Entering to the Next Line:
If you don’t want to have to stop your \(\sf{\LaTeX}\), you can just use \\ to break the line.
```
\(Hey\\there\)
```
Which leaves.
\(Hey\\there\)

Answer 7

Superscript and Subscript (Whacky LaTeX):
Superscript and subscript are pretty simple, just do ^ for superscript and _ for subscript; you use brackets for multiple characters, but no brackets if you just want one character changed.
```
\(^{Hey}~ _{There}\)
```
\(^{Hey}~ _{There}\)

Answer 8

Underlines and Overlines:
A pretty plain and simple concept, they allow you to put a line under or over a message.
```
\(\underline{Hey~there}\)
```
\(\underline{Hey~there}\)

```
\(\overline{Hey~there}\)
```
\(\overline{Hey~there}\)

Answer 9

Overlaping Text:
You can overlap text by using a command called \rlap, here’s how you do it. The easiest way I’ve learned is to use an \hspace to show both colors
```
\(\rlap{\color{red}{Hey~there}}{\hspace{1px}\color{black}{Hey~there}}\)
```
This will create.
\(\rlap{\color{red}{Hey~there}}{\hspace{1px}\color{black}{Hey~there}}\)

Here’s how this works, be mindful that you don’t put the parenthesis into your code, or else it won’t function properly.
```
\(\rlap{\color{(color for lower layer)}{(message)}}{\hspace{1px}\color{(color for upper layer)}{(message)}\)
```

Answer 10

Boxed Text:
If you’re simply wanting to create a box around your text, and no fancy border features, use this feature.
```
\(\boxed{Hey~there}\)
```
It very simply creates this.
\(\boxed{Hey~there}\)

(Fun tip: putting boxes inside of boxes is possible if you just repeat the \boxed{} code inside of the previous \boxed code.

Answer 11

Text Background:
You can color the background of your text if you do this.
```
\(\bbox[5pt,cyan]{Hey~there}\)
```
\(\bbox[5pt,cyan]{Hey~there}\)

The 5pt is the padding between the text and the edge (border, explained next), and cyan is the color.

Answer 12

Macros:
Tired of repeating the same thing over and over again in \(\sf{\LaTeX}\)? Try using macros!
```
\(\def\rs{Macro}\)
```
This will define your macro, then you simply reuse “\rs”.
```
\(\def\rs{Hey}\rs\rs\rs\)
```
\(\def\rs{Hey}\rs\rs\rs\)

Answer 13

[COMPLEX] Tables/Graphs/and Arrays:
These are complex, it is suggested that you know how to do basic \(\sf{\LaTeX}\) (above sections) before you attempt this.

To start off, you need to set up the chart.
```
\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
```
This may confuse you, all you need to know is what “{|l|l|}” does. This identifies what side of the chart that the text slides to, you can change it to “{|r|r|}” for a graph with the text slid right.

Next you’ll skip a line (not by \\, just enter) and write this.
```
\sf{}&\sf{}\\\hline
```
This is a portion, you can put whatever you like here, BUT, the “&” is what starts the next section in the graph, and after each line, you want to put “\\” to go to the next line and “\hline” to create a line in between that section and the next. (If you’re confused at this point, a colored portion is at the end). This leaves you with “\\\hline” at the end.

To end the graph, just put this on the next line.
```
\end{array}\)
```

Now, here’s a colored example for reference
\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{one}&\sf{two}\\\hline
\sf{three}&\sf{four}\\\hline
\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline
\sf{\color{tomato}{one}}&\sf{\color{yellow}{two}}\\\hline
\sf{\color{lime}{three}}&\sf{\color{cyan}{four}}\\\hline
\end{array}\)

Answer 14

[OUTDATED] Hyperlinks:
Hyperlinks are links that are attached to a word or sentence.

For links inside OS/QC
```
\(\href{https:///questioncove.com/}{QuestionCove}\)
```
QuestionCove

For links outside OS/QC
```
\(\href{http:///youtube.com/}{YouTube}\)
```

Answer 15

[OUTDATED] Fcolorbox & Colorbox:
These are similar to bounding boxes, except much easier to create.
Fcolorbox
```
\(\fcolorbox{black}{red}{Hey}\)
```
\(\bbox[3pt,red ,border:3px solid black]{Hey~there}\)
Colorbox
```
\(\colorbox{red}{Hey}\)
```
\(\bbox[3pt,red]{Hey~there}\)

Answer 16

[OUTDATED] Defining Colors:
If you are trying to use a custom color multiple times, you can define a name for that color to use it.
There are two ways you can do this, RGB (0,0,0), and HEX (#000000).

RGB:
```
\(\definecolor{color}{RGB}{0,0,0}\color{color}{Hey~there}\)
```
\(\color{black}{Hey~there}\)

HEX:
```
\(\definecolor{color}{HEX}{000000}\color{color}{Hey~there}\)
```
\(\color{black}{Hey~there}\)

Answer 17

And I’m done, that’s the basics and some complex things, I’ll work on adding in all of the \(\sf{\LaTeX}\) symbols in later (there’s a LOT of them).
