  1. The text command is defined by the amsmath package. The purpose is to be able to write words or phrases in math mode. It's quite similar to mbox but has the advantage that it adapts the font size to the surrounding math style (display, text, script, scriptscript).


  2. textt is not defined by LaTeX or any package I know.


  3. The texttt command typesets its argument in teletype font (sometimes called typewriter or monospace font). The trailing tt is an abbreviation for teletype.

  • It should be remarked that, when the amsmath package is loaded, texttt also adapts the font size to the surrounding math style, exactly as text does.
