grey square in text

Post by thomgraf »

Hello:

Has anybody an idea how to use a grey square in latex text? Just like the $\blacksquare$ command for a black square.

Thanks

You could use a color package, such as xcolor, and define your own macro, such as:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\newcommand*{\greysquare}{\textcolor{gray}{\blacksquare}}
