MathLover1's solution to the problem is perfect; I'm only commenting to show you the most universally understood notation for plain text rendering of a logarithm function where the base must be specified:

log_b(x) is the correct way to render .

In general, the underscore character indicates a subscript. If the subscript consists of more than one character, enclose it in curly braces, thus:

x_{10} is understood to mean

In the case of logs or other "spelled out" functions, such as trigonometry functions and their inverses, form the habit of enclosing the argument in parentheses.

log_4 12.7 is understandable, but log_4(12.7) is better.
