Inserting Symbols and Formatting Labels

23.08.2021

In all text that you can place in tables and diagrams, as well as in labels, which you insert into documents, you can use a series of control sequences to insert Greek symbols into the text or to format individual text passages. The control sequences always consist of a \ character, followed by a letter. The upper case letter activates the corresponding attribute, and the same letter in lower case deactivates it. You can combine the attributes any way you like.

Control Sequences

Meaning

\S ... \s

Selects the symbol character set for displaying the included text.

\U ... \u

Displays the included text as superscript.

\L ... \l

Displays the included text as subscript.

\I ... \i

Displays the included text as italic.

\B ... \b

Displays the included text as bold.

\CRRGGBB ... \c

Displays the included text in the specified color. Enter the color as a hexadecimal RGB value. For example, \CFF0000Rot\c outputs "Red" as 100% red.

\FRRGGBB ... \F

Displays the included text with the specified background color.

\N

Cancels all of the above conditions and restores the normal appearance of the text.

\\

Displays a \ character. The character has to be entered twice so that it is not interpreted as a control sequence.

Tip:   You can use the Windows Character Map program to select the Greek symbols.
