I'm trying to use color and background color together. But, for example, the following is not working - showing only a black box. What I may be missing here and how can it be fixed.?
Remark: I'm using MikTeX (with default installation) on my Windows-10
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\title{\LaTeX}
\begin{document}
\[\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\LaTeX}\]
\end{document}
Desired output: Something like the following:
To reproduce showed image, try the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor} % <---
%\title{\LaTeX}
\begin{document}
\[
\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\textit{\LaTeX}} % <---
\]
\end{document}
MikTeX (thank you). I thought color package was a part of amsmath package. Obviously, I was wrong. It worked after I loaded color package. And, the same was true when I tried your suggestion of loading xcolor package. I suppose xcolor is an extension of color package.
xcolor is is an advanced color upgrade/supersede of the color package. With option table: [table]{xcolor] also contain advanced functionality of the colortbl package.
xcolorpackage, it works ontexlive. Does it make any difference by loading it inMikTeX?MikTeX, as well. It also worked withcolorpackage.\colorboxso your question is very misleading.colorpackage, following works on myMikTeXinstallation on Windows-10. Am I not be doing something right here?:\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{color} \begin{document} \[\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\LaTeX}\] \end{document}
