How to Type Math
-
When you want to type a $ or % symbol in Latex, you must put two backslashes before it:
\\$ 40 50 \\% \\# 5
-
Additionally, to make colored text, you can use the "color{colorname}" command within math mode. Everything you enter until the end of the math mode will render in the color name entered as colorname.
````math \color{red} \text{Latex does not regard spaces:} 1 2 3 4 5 6 \color{blue} Text written without the \text{ \text{command} } formatting looks squished like this \color{green} \text{ A green equation: } \frac{a + b}{c} + 2.5 - x^2 \color{purple} \text{ Purple text using the command 'text'} \\)

Hmmm.... How do you change the font?👕👕👕👕👕👕👕👕👕👕🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

@divinedolphin I'd suggest searching for "Markdown change font." Markdown is the language that this forum uses, and it's a shorthand form of html code. I don't know how to do this myself, sorry!
I hope you have luck finding the answer! -

Does the sigma function work here?
-
@The-Rogue-Blade
Thanks for asking! You can type the Sigma \( \sum \) by itself like this:
\\( \sum \\)or as the sum of a sequence of terms, like this:
\\( \sum_{n=1}^{n=10} n^2 \\)\( \sum_{n=1}^{n=10} n^2 \)
\\( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^2 \\)\( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^2 \)
I hope this helps!

\[\text{L}^\text{A}\text{T}_\text{E}\text{X}\]
\[L^AT_EX\]

@divinedolphin How come that post still shows up as code? When I edit it the preview shows up fine, but this is what I see right now.
-
@divinedolphin Try this instead:
\(LaTeX\)
\(\text{L}^\text{A}\text{T}_\text{E}\text{X}\)
\\(LaTeX\\) \\(\text{L}^\text{A}\text{T}_\text{E}\text{X}\\) -
-
@divinedolphin Yes, I've noticed that too; the square brackets don't seem to render. I usually use the double backslash with the round brackets.
-
\(\LaTeX\)
\(\text{L}^\text{A}\text{T}_\text{E}\text{X}\)
\(L^AT_EX\) -
@divinedolphin Yay, you did it!
