SUMMARY

To format text in subscript and superscript within textboxes, users can utilize HTML tags: for subscript and for superscript. However, these tags will only function if HTML is enabled in the posting environment. In contrast, LaTeX provides commands such as _\text{subscript} and ^\text{superscript}, but they may not render as smoothly as HTML. The effectiveness of these formatting options is contingent upon the platform's support for HTML.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HTML tags, specifically and
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax for text formatting

Hello PF,

I couldn't find the info by googling, but I need to know: how do I, while writing in a textbox like this one, put things in subscript and superscript (but without using the and commands of PF like I did here)?

Thanks

Latex generates less smooth [itex]_\text{subscript}[/itex] and [itex]^\text{superscript}[/itex]
 
It depends on where you are posting. There are html tags for subscript and superscript but they will not work if html is not activated for the place where you are posting.
