====== Changing text color when typesetting LaTeX documents ======

This article explains how to change text color when typesetting documents using LaTex.



===== Procedure =====

To use colors in LaTeX documents you need to instantiate the //color// package. For that, you just have to add the following in the preamble.

<code>
\usepackage{color}
</code>

Any where in the document, you can change text color by using the following command

<code>
color{col}
</code>
Where //col// is the desired color (e.g. red, black, etc..). 

Later in the document, the same command used with a different color will cause the text that follows to be printed using the updated color.
