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.
