    I don’t think you can use the x0 plus minus delta in the bracket (or anywhere), because then the function that’s 1 on the rationals and 0 on the irrationals is continuous, because no matter what positive number epsilon is, you can pick delta=7 and x0 plus minus delta is exactly as rational as x0 is so the distance to L is zero, so under epsilon.

    You have to say that
    whenever |x - 0x|<delta,
    |f(x) - L|<epsilon.

    But I think this is one of my favourite memes.
