I have the same problem and I had been using Mathematica for a while,
for example can any one explain the code to color a sum:
f[X_List, m_Integer] := Module[{Y},
Y = Partition[X, m];
Z = MapThread[(c = If[OddQ@#2, Red, Blue];
Style[#, c, Bold, 18] & /@ #1) &, {Y, Range@Length@Y}];
Infix[Flatten@Z, Style["+", 18]]];
f[Table[1,{15}],3]
of thread [mg107001]
in the documentation is not a good explaining the use of @,#, & etc...
that make those codes very hard to decipher...
