Details and Options

Examples

Basic Examples  (3)Summary of the most common use cases

Display text with a red squiggly underline:

Out[1]=1

Use a green squiggly underline:

Out[1]=1

Squiggle text in a list:

Out[1]=1

Squiggle a single element of a list:

Out[2]=2

Scope  (4)Survey of the scope of standard use cases

Squiggle text in any expression:

Out[1]=1

By default, the typeset form of Squiggled[expr] evaluates to itself:

Out[1]=1

This can be changed using the option StripOnInput:

Out[3]=3

Squiggle text within graphics:

Out[1]=1

Squiggle text within Graphics3D:

Out[1]=1

Options  (9)Common values & functionality for each option

Background  (1)

Specify a background color to use:

Out[1]=1

FontColor  (2)

Specify a font color to use:

Out[1]=1

Combine emphasis with custom background and font color specifications:

Out[1]=1

FontFamily  (1)

Specify a font family to use:

Out[1]=1

FontSize  (1)

Specify a font size to use:

Out[1]=1

FontSlant  (1)

Use italics within the squiggled expression:

Out[1]=1

FontWeight  (1)

Specify a font weight to use:

Out[1]=1

StripOnInput  (2)

Create a squiggled output that evaluates to the first argument of Squiggled:

Out[1]=1

When the output is used as input, the Squiggled wrapper disappears:

Out[2]=2

When the hold is released, evaluation proceeds normally:

Out[3]=3

An explicit setting StripOnInput False is preserved when the output is used as input:

Out[1]=1

Applications  (3)Sample problems that can be solved with this function

Squiggle words that do not appear in the spelling dictionaries:

Out[1]=1

Squiggle snowfall totals from Buffalo that fall outside one standard deviation of the mean snowfall:

Out[1]=1
Out[2]=2

Create an integral in which the integrand is squiggled:

Out[1]=1

The output can be used as input to evaluate the integral:

Out[2]=2

Properties & Relations  (1)Properties of the function, and connections to other functions

Highlighted provides an alternative highlighting idiom:

Out[1]=1

Possible Issues  (2)Common pitfalls and unexpected behavior

Invalid color specifications will typeset without a squiggle:

Out[1]=1

Squiggled may not propagate to text nested within other typeset expressions, such as Graphics:

Out[1]=1

Wrap Squiggled tightly around the expression to format to avoid this:

Out[2]=2
