% --- Tables, Type Emphasis & Fonts ---
 
 
% Wrap a table around tabular to make captions
 
\begin{table}
% Define a table with 3 left aligned columns (Use c (Center) or r (Right)
 
% The center | creates a vertical line
 
\begin{tabular}{l|l|l}
 
% Draw horizontal line
 
% \usepackage{booktabs} provides different line thicknesses
 
% \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule
 
\hline
 
% & Defines the breaks in the table
 
\textbf{Name} & \textbf{Command} & \textbf{Sample Text} \\

% ----- Accent Characters -----
 
% These is a package that allows you to enter accented characters
 
% \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} on Linux/MacOS and 
 
% \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} on Windows
 
\'{a} \^{e} `{o} \"{u} \.{a} \={o} \~{n} \u{a} \H{a} \v{e} \t{oo} \c{c} \d{n} \b{i}
 
% There are numerous fonts here
 
% http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/
 
 
% --- More Type Emphasis --- 
 
 
% Abbreviate listing in table of contents to just Type and make sans serif font
 
% I use label here so I can refer to this section later
 
\section[Type]{\textsf{Type Emphasis \& Sizing}} \label{sec:typeemp}
 
If you want font changes to continue \itshape italic, \slshape slanted, \scshape small caps, \upshape upright, \normalfont back to normal\\
 
% As you change text size that size remains after the command
 
Get Smaller : \normalsize{normal}, \small{small}, \footnotesize{footnote}, \scriptsize{script}, \tiny{tiny}
 
Get Bigger : \large{large}, \Large{larger}, \LARGE{larger}, \huge{huge}, \Huge{Hugest}
 
% Apply sizing change over a block of text
 
\begin{LARGE}
I want to use a big font
\end{LARGE}
 
\normalsize{Back to normal}
 
\section{\textsf{Font Families}}
We can {\sffamily temporarily change} a font family, \ttfamily or change it for the rest of the document \sffamily
 
% Create quotes

% --- Math Formulas ---
 
% Using this package : \usepackage{amsmath}
 
\section{Math Formulas}
% LaTeX excels at typesetting math formulas
 
 
% Quadratic Equation
 
% flalign* with formula surrounded with &s makes it left justified
 
\begin{flalign*}
	& ax^2 + bx + c = 0 &\\
\end{flalign*}
 
% Place a formula in text
 
This \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) is the quadratic equation \\
 
% I prefer the $ TeX shortcut
 
% Quadratic Formula
 
$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ \\

Style to \typew{typewriter}.
 
% ----- Text Boxes & Justification -----
 
\section{\textsf{Text Columns}}
 
% You can center text
 
{\centering

Okay\\[10pt]
}
 
% Create a fully justified column 4cm wide
 
% \parbox{4cm}{I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not too sure.}
 
% [t]{2cm} aligns to top, [b] aligns to bottom, [s] stretches vertically, [c] centers
 
% \quad adds horizontal spacing between the boxes
 
\quad\parbox{2cm}{I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not too sure.}
% You can define hyphenation with\-
\quad\parbox{2cm}{Always re\-mem\-ber that you're unique. Just like everyone.}
% raggedright eliminates justification and hyphenation (Justifies Left)
 
% You can do this document wide if typed in the preamble
 
\quad\parbox{2cm}{\raggedright I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.}
% raggedleft eliminates justification and hyphenation (Justifies Right)
 
\quad\parbox{2cm}{\raggedleft When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them. }
 
% Minipages are blocks of text that will maintain size restrictions
