Trying this out from my tablet . .

a^3b^(2/3)c + d^4 + *e*^2 =7.645 657 \implies d = \frac {-f \pm \sqrt{b^3 - 4dc}}{e^(1.264)}

Total gibberish, but I thought I’d give it a whirl. Is there a listing of the ‘backslash codes’, say a cube or fourth root?

Also, I am totally confused on how to change the color of posted text. I’m not quite following . . .

Man, I could use that ability to blue, green, red, or yellow stuff . . .

Search for “Latex cheat sheet” and you’ll find various resources, like this one:

As for colors, just do this:
$\color{blue}Blue$
For:
\color{blue}Blue

Rock on. . . Thank you!!

@SuntanLotion Isee you’re invoking my mortal enemy.

Still need help with text colors.

If you need a space, you can put a \ in front of it…
$\color{blue}This\ is\ a\ sentence$
produces
\color{blue}This\ is\ a\ sentence
hth

And if you want proper text: $\color{blue}\text{This is blue text.}$ produces \color{blue}\text{This is blue text.} Not sure if you can get the font to match regular text, though.

Upthread, @Dr.Strangelove pointed out that a different syntax.

I’ll put yours and his together, but to my eye his syntax is simpler.

\color{blue}Blue\ text\ here
\color{blue}\text{Blue text here}

That is the result from
$\color{blue}Blue\ text\ here$
$\color{blue}\text{Blue text here}$

Note that no backslash is required between words with the second syntax.

\color{blue}\text{I Think this is working. . . .}

\color{crimson}\text{Note to self, gotta put it between dollar signs!}

\color{green}\text{Thanks guys!!}

It works. Thar be dragons. :wink:

@discobot roll 1d6

:game_die: 8

@discobot roll 1d1000

Did you know that the maximum number of sides for a mathematically fair dice is 120?

:game_die: 71

@discobot that’s not true–you can have a lozenge-shaped die with any number of sides you want. besides, you’re a computer. you don’t have those limits.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
