<h4 class="subsubsection" id="g_t_0022tex_0022-interpreter-1"><span>15.2.8.2 "tex" interpreter<a class="copiable-link" href="#g_t_0022tex_0022-interpreter-1"> ¶</a></span></h4>
<p>The <code class="code">"tex"</code> interpreter implements a subset of TeX functionality when
rendering text. This allows the insertion of special glyphs such as Greek
characters or mathematical symbols. Special characters are inserted by using
a backslash (\) character followed by a code, as shown in <a class="ref" href="#tab_003aextended">Table 15.1</a>.
</p>
<p>Besides special glyphs, the formatting of the text can be changed within the
string by using the codes
</p>
<table class="multitable">
<tbody><tr><td width="20%"></td><td width="20%">\bf</td><td width="60%">Bold font</td><td width="20%"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"></td><td width="20%">\it</td><td width="60%">Italic font</td><td width="20%"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"></td><td width="20%">\sl</td><td width="60%">Oblique Font</td><td width="20%"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"></td><td width="20%">\rm</td><td width="60%">Normal font</td><td width="20%"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>These codes may be used in conjunction with the { and } characters to limit
the change to a part of the string. For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">xlabel ('{\bf H} = a {\bf V}')
</pre></div>
<p>where the character <code class="code">'a'</code> will not appear in bold font. Note that to
avoid having Octave interpret the backslash character in the strings,
the strings themselves should be in single quotes.
</p>
<p>It is also possible to change the fontname and size within the text
</p>
<table class="multitable">
<tbody><tr><td width="10%"></td><td width="40%">\fontname{<var class="var">fontname</var>}</td><td width="60%">Specify the font to use</td><td width="10%"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="10%"></td><td width="40%">\fontsize{<var class="var">size</var>}</td><td width="60%">Specify the size of the font to
use</td><td width="10%"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The color of the text may also be changed inline using either a string (e.g.,
"red") or numerically with a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) specification (e.g.,
[1 0 0], also red).
</p>
<table class="multitable">
<tbody><tr><td width="10%"></td><td width="40%">\color{<var class="var">color</var>}</td><td width="60%">Specify the color as a string</td><td width="10%"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="10%"></td><td width="40%">\color[rgb]{<var class="var">R</var> <var class="var">G</var> <var class="var">B</var>}</td><td width="60%">Specify the color
numerically</td><td width="10%"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Finally, superscripting and subscripting can be controlled with the <code class="code">'^'</code>
and <code class="code">'_'</code> characters. If the <code class="code">'^'</code> or <code class="code">'_'</code> is followed by a
{ character, then all of the block surrounded by the { }<!-- /@w --> pair is
superscripted or subscripted. Without the { }<!-- /@w --> pair, only the character
immediately following the <code class="code">'^'</code> or <code class="code">'_'</code> is changed.

<p>Conformance to both TeX and <small class="sc">MATLAB</small> with respect to the <code class="code">\circ</code>

Unicode 2218<!-- /@w --> (U+2218), <small class="sc">MATLAB</small> maps this to Unicode 00B0<!-- /@w --> (U+00B0)
instead. Octave has chosen to follow the TeX specification, but has added
the additional symbol <code class="code">\deg</code> which maps to the degree symbol (U+00B0).
