== Color ==
Equations can use color with the <code>\color</code> command. The default [[Wikipedia:Texvc|Texvc]] renderer and the [[MathJax]] renderers have different syntaxes to support both use <code>{\color{Blue}{text}}</code>. For example
* <source lang="text" enclose="none">{\color{Blue}{x^2}}+{\color{Orange}{2x}}-{\color{LimeGreen}{1}}</source>
*: <math>{\color{Blue}{x^2}}+{\color{Orange}{2x}}-{\color{LimeGreen}{1}}</math>
* <source lang="text" enclose="none">x_{1,2}=\frac{{\color{Blue}{-b}}\pm\sqrt{\color{Red}{b^2-4ac}}}{\color{Green}{2a}}</source>
*: <math>x_{1,2}=\frac{{\color{Blue}{-b}}\pm\sqrt{\color{Red}{b^2-4ac}}}{\color{Green}{2a}}</math>
There are several alternate notations styles
* <source lang="text" enclose="none">{\color{Blue}x^2}+{\color{Orange}2x}-{\color{LimeGreen}1}</source> works with both texvc and MathJax
*: <math>{\color{Blue}x^2}+{\color{Orange}2x}-{\color{LimeGreen}1}</math>
* <source lang="text" enclose="none">\color{Blue}x^2\color{Black}+\color{Orange}2x\color{Black}-\color{LimeGreen}1</source> works with both texvc and MathJax
*: <math>\color{Blue}x^2\color{Black}+\color{Orange}2x\color{Black}-\color{LimeGreen}1</math>
* <source lang="text" enclose="none">\color{Blue}{x^2}+\color{Orange}{2x}-\color{LimeGreen}{1}</source> only works with MathJax
*: <math>\color{Blue}{x^2}+\color{Orange}{2x}-\color{LimeGreen}{1}</math>
Some color names are predeclared according to the following table, you can use them directly for the rendering of formulas (or for declaring the intended color of the page background).

Note that color should not be used as the ''only'' way to identify something, because it will become meaningless on black-and-white media or for color-blind people. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (accessibility)#Color]].
Custom colours can be defined using
<syntaxhighlight lang="latex">\definecolor{myorange}{RGB}{255,165,100}\color{myorange}e^{i \pi}\color{Black} + 1 = 0</syntaxhighlight>
:<math>\definecolor{myorange}{RGB}{255,165,100}\color{myorange}e^{i \pi}\color{Black} + 1 = 0</math>

=== Spacing ===
Note that {{TeX}} handles most spacing automatically, but you may sometimes want manual control.

Automatic spacing may be broken in very long expressions (because they produce an overfull hbox in {{TeX}}):
: <source lang="latex" enclose="none">0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+\cdots</source>
: <math>0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+\cdots</math>
This can be remedied by putting a pair of braces { } around the whole expression:
: <source lang="latex" enclose="none">{0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+\cdots}</source>
: <math>{0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+\cdots}</math>
=== Alignment with normal text flow ===
Due to the default CSS
<source lang="CSS">img.tex { vertical-align: middle; }</source>
an inline expression like <math>\int_{-N}^{N} e^x\, dx</math> should look good.
If you need to align it otherwise, use <code><nowiki><math style="vertical-align:-100%;">...</math></nowiki></code> and play with the <source lang="latex" enclose="none">vertical-align</source> argument until you get it right; however, how it looks may depend on the browser and the browser settings.
Also note that if you rely on this workaround, if/when the rendering on the server gets fixed in future releases, as a result of this extra manual offset your formulae will suddenly be aligned incorrectly. So use it sparingly, if at all.
