        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'} \\)

                      @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?

                            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! 🙂

                                @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.2020-08-12 11_47_13-How to Type Math _ Forum — Daily Challenge.png

                                  @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. 🙂
