AI Thread Summary
To properly display double subscripts in mathematical notation, braces should be used. For example, writing $E_{k_1}$ ensures correct formatting. The notation can be extended to more complex expressions, such as $E_{x_{y}}$, to achieve the desired appearance. Users in the discussion confirm this method as effective for formatting subsequences correctly.

Hi Peter,

You should use braces, like $E_{k_1}$.
 
you can write as

E_{x_{y}}

to get

$E_{x_{y}}$
