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

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

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}}
