Code before:

.. manim:: LaTeXSubstrings
    :save_last_frame:

    class LaTeXSubstrings(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            tex = Tex('Hello', r'$\bigstar$', r'\LaTeX').scale(3)
            tex.set_color_by_tex('igsta', RED)
            self.add(tex)

Note that :func:`~.set_color_by_tex`: colors the entire substring containing the Tex searched for,
not just the specific symbol or Tex expression searched for. Consider the following example:

.. manim:: IncorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring
    :save_last_frame:

    class IncorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            equation = MathTex(
                "e^x = x^0 + x^1 + \\frac{1}{2} x^2 + \\frac{1}{6} x^3 + \\cdots + \\frac{1}{n!} x^n + \\cdots", isolate="x"
                )
            xs = equation.get_parts_by_tex("x")
            xs.set_color(YELLOW)
            self.add(equation)

colors the entire equation yellow, contrary to what may be expected. To color only `x` yellow, we have to do the following:

.. manim:: CorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring
    :save_last_frame:

    class CorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            equation = MathTex(
                "e^x = x^0 + x^1 + \\frac{1}{2} x^2 + \\frac{1}{6} x^3 + \\cdots + \\frac{1}{n!} x^n + \\cdots", substrings_to_isolate="x"
                )
            xs = equation.get_parts_by_tex("x")
            xs.set_color(YELLOW)
            self.add(equation)

By setting ``substring_to_isolate`` to ``x``, we split up the :class:`~.MathTex` into substrings automatically and isolate ``x`` components into individual substrings. :func:`~.set_color_by_tex`: can then be used to achieve the desired result.

Changing fonts in LaTeX when typesetting mathematical formulae is a little bit more tricky than
with regular text. It requires changing the template that is used to compile the tex code.
Manim comes with a collection of :class:`~.TexFontTemplates` ready for you to use. These templates will all work
in maths mode:

Code after:

.. manim:: LaTeXSubstrings
    :save_last_frame:

    class LaTeXSubstrings(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            tex = Tex('Hello', r'$\bigstar$', r'\LaTeX').scale(3)
            tex.set_color_by_tex('igsta', RED)
            self.add(tex)

Note that :func:`~.set_color_by_tex` colors the entire substring containing the Tex searched for,
not just the specific symbol or Tex expression searched for. Consider the following example:

.. manim:: IncorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring
    :save_last_frame:

    class IncorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            equation = MathTex(
                r"e^x = x^0 + x^1 + \frac{1}{2} x^2 + \frac{1}{6} x^3 + \cdots + \frac{1}{n!} x^n + \cdots"
            )
            equation.set_color_by_tex("x", YELLOW)
            self.add(equation)

As you can see, this colors the entire equation yellow, contrary to what may be expected. To color only ``x`` yellow, we have to do the following:

.. manim:: CorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring
    :save_last_frame:

    class CorrectLaTeXSubstringColoring(Scene):
        def construct(self):
            equation = MathTex(
                r"e^x = x^0 + x^1 + \frac{1}{2} x^2 + \frac{1}{6} x^3 + \cdots + \frac{1}{n!} x^n + \cdots",
                substrings_to_isolate="x"
            )
            equation.set_color_by_tex("x", YELLOW)
            self.add(equation)

By setting ``substring_to_isolate`` to ``x``, we split up the :class:`~.MathTex` into substrings
automatically and isolate ``x`` components into individual substrings. Only then can :meth:`~.set_color_by_tex` be used to achieve the desired result.
