HELP_RESPONSE = """
It seems you have asked for help. I have several available commands. Putting a command at the beginning of your message will trigger an action. Here they are:
>`=tex <message>`
When this command is issued, I will compile whatever LaTeX code appears in <message>, and will upload a .png file of the result. Example: `=tex This is an equation: $1\neq 2$`.
>`=t <message>`
This command just takes a single equation as input without delimiters. It just takes whatever is passed through <message>, slaps two $ signs on both ends and then puts that through the same process as the =tex command. Example: `=t 1\neq 2`.
>`=help`
Entering this command will cause me to display this help message.
