Text Formatting ⇒ Bold faced and italic at the same time

[Palikaros]

Hello!

I'm new here and especially in the LaTeX world! Well, I have a homework for my university in LaTeX and that's why I use it. My first problem is that I don t know how to write a sentence in both italic and bold. Can please someone write the command to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Palikaros,

welcome to the board!

You can nest font commands:

Code: Select all

\textbf{\textit{Text}}

Great!Thanks for the answer!In some case i need to write both italic,bold and greek letters!What should i do then?

Im sorry but i cannot find anything to help me except this forum,so thank you again

Just letters? No problem. Greek letters in math mode are already italic, so you just need to make them bold.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$\boldsymbol{\beta}$
\end{document}

I think we're on the wrong track here. An adequate problem description would have included this important information right at the beginning (and in the topic title). For Greek text (and the Greek language in general) in your document try the below example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,greek]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
  \textit{\textbf{PINAKAS APLWN AORISTWN OLOKLHRWMATWN}}
\end{document}

If you are going to write your document in another language than Greek (let's say English) and only want to have short text pieces in Greek, you have to choose another approach.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,greek,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
  PINAKAS APLWN AORISTWN OLOKLHRWMATWN

  \textit{\textbf{\textgreek{PINAKAS APLWN AORISTWN OLOKLHRWMATWN}}}
\end{document}

For details please refer to the babel user guide.
