Math & Science ⇒ Equation highlighting

[theo moore]

Hi, I'm making a Beamer presentation and I'd like to highlight certain equations in a frameless colored box (for example, light beige). How would I do this?

(I realise there are \alert and \highlight commands in Beamer, but this isn't what I want).

Hi there,

Why don't you just nest your equation into a parbox environment, and add some color to it???

Something like this:

Code: Select all

\colorbox{red}{\parbox{0.5\textwidth}{
      \begin{eqnarray}
	a + b = c
      \end{eqnarray}
  }}

Hope this is the result you are expecting.

Cheers

Yup. Works for me. Thanks!

Just for the record. The eqnarray should not be used any more because of known inconsistencies and misbehaviour in some cases. Highlighting of math environments can be done with the empheq package from the mh bundle.
