LaTeX

Does anyone reading this know how to,

-> Make colored text?

-> Make outlines of words?

-> Type in Italics?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

$\text{Just like how}$ @Yajat Shamji $\text{said, you should better check my guide.}$

Use $\LaTeX$ and type in the function \color{colorname}{whatever}
Again in $\LaTeX$ use \boxed{text}
To type in italics use 1 asterisk on either side, for example like this

$\color{#3D99F6} This \ is \ colored \ text$
$\mathbb{IS \ THIS \ GOOD \ ENOUGH \ FOR \ YOU?}$
$\textsf{Which}$ $\texttt{one}$ $\textit{do}$ $\mathcal{you}$ $\mathfrak{like?}$

Mahdi Raza already gave color so I'll give the other codes @I Love Brilliant :)

\mathbb{IS \ THIS \ GOOD \ ENOUGH \ FOR \ YOU?}\
\textsf{Which} \texttt{one} \textit{do} \mathcal{you} \mathfrak{like?}
