I'm going to try to turn it into a hyperlink :)

Answer 29

\(\Huge\href{http:///www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=\sum_{n%3D1}^{5}+n+}{\sf perl}\)

Click it and see if it brings you to the page your trying to get to.

Answer 30

Did it work?

Answer 31

yes, thats really cool , you embedded the link in the latex

Answer 32

Answer 33

$$
\Huge\href{http:///www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=\sum_{n%3D1}^{5}+n+} {\sf click ~me}

\color{yellow}{e}
\color{yellow}{\bigstar}


} }


$$

Answer 44

Answer 45

Oh, you don't need to say \text. For example, `\(perl\)`

Answer 46

Yeah, i was at a loss for words there, any suggestions?

Answer 47

i mean inside
$$ \Large V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3~ \text{ now i want to say text here} \\ ~ \\


$$

Answer 48

```
\(\Large V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3~ {~now~i~want~to~say~text~here} \\ ~ \\\)

Answer 49

Try that out :)

Answer 50

\(\Large V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3~ {~now~i~want~to~say~text~here} \\ \\\)

Answer 56

```
\(\Huge\underline{perl~is~getting~good~at~\LaTeX}\)

Answer 57

Try that :)

Answer 58

it would be nice if you could save templates.
like i usually start with
` $$ \Large { } $$ `

Answer 59

\( \Huge\underline{perl~is~getting~good~at~\LaTeX} \\ cool \)

Answer 60

:)

Answer 61

$$\Huge\underline{\text {help I am running out of room soon help help }} $$

Answer 62

So you could do this,
```
\(\underline{\Large V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3~}\)

Answer 63

how do you know before you post the length of a line

Answer 64

well if its reaching the end of the preview, i usually go back a word or two and place \\ so it makes another line

Answer 65

\( \underline{\Large Volume~of~a~sphere=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3~} \)

Answer 66

See! :) Great work!
