# Syntax Coloring, Styling & Comments

Soulver automatically colors the text in your document by type to make each element distinct. This is not only aesthetically appealing, but makes it clearer how Soulver interprets your expression.

As Soulver handles it for you, you cannot set the color or style of individual words. However we have included have included some special characters that will do this for you automatically:

- @ (at symbol) - everything to the right will become black and bold, and will not evaluate. We call this a section header.

- : (colon) - everything to the left will become black and bold, and will not evaluate. We call this a label.

- ; (semi colon) - everything to the left will become grey, and the entire line will not evaluate. We call this a comment line.

- " " (quotation marks) - everything inside the quotation marks will not be considered by Soulver when calculating your answer. We call this an inline comment.
