How do I change the color of a subformula?
You can use the color command as follows:
- color red ABC typesets ABC.
There are eight different colors to choose from:
- white, black, cyan, magenta, red, blue, green, yellow.
You can apply a color to an entire subformula if you group it with { } or other brackets. Example:
- Enter A B color green {C D} E to typeset ABCDE.
When several colors are applied, the innermost takes precedence as shown in this example:
- Enter color blue {A B color yellow C D} to get ABCD.
You cannot select the background color; a Math formula is always transparent. This means that it inherits the background color from the document (for example a writer document) it is contained in.
