When using stuff like:

CellPrint[Cell["Z/" <> ToString[Prime[n]] <> "Z", "Item"]]

How can I use dynamic functionality in there? I was planning to create a dynamic variable n and make it dynamic in there but it's not working. I tried using the following slider:

{Slider[Dynamic[n], {0, 100, 1}], Dynamic[n]}

And the following codes:

CellPrint[Cell["Z/" <> ToString[Prime[Dynamic[n]]] <> "Z", "Item"]]

And

CellPrint[Cell["Z/" <> ToString[Evaluate[Prime[Refresh[n, UpdateInterval -> 1]]]] <> "Z", "Item"]]

But it doesn't work.

  • $\begingroup$ @CarlWoll I need it to create an "Item" with an n that updates dynamically. $\endgroup$

Perhaps this?:

CellPrint[ExpressionCell[Row[{"Z/",Dynamic[Prime@n],"Z"}],"Item"]];
Slider[Dynamic@n,{1,10,1}]

Or perhaps:

CellPrint[ExpressionCell[
   Row[{"Z/", Dynamic[Prime@n], "Z"}],
   "Item",
   ShowStringCharacters -> False]];

    $\begingroup$ @RedBanana Do you mean instead of ”Output”? Do you mean you can’t make that change yourself? $\endgroup$
