SUMMARY

The discussion centers on inserting subscripts in the diagrams.net application. Users discovered that to include subscripts, such as in the expression \(f_{2,G_2}\), one must enable the Mathematical typesetting feature by selecting Extras -> Mathematical typesetting. The use of LaTeX syntax allows for proper formatting of mathematical expressions, including subscripts. Users also noted that using the underscore "_" is a workaround for simpler subscript needs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with diagrams.net application
  • Basic understanding of LaTeX syntax
  • Knowledge of mathematical typesetting concepts
  • Experience with formatting text in digital applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Mathematical typesetting feature in diagrams.net
  • Learn advanced LaTeX commands for mathematical expressions
  • Investigate other formatting options in diagrams.net
  • Review FAQs on diagrams.net for additional tips and tricks
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for users of diagrams.net, educators creating mathematical diagrams, and anyone interested in enhancing their text formatting skills in digital applications.

I want to inset the following text ##f_{2,G_2}##, but it seems I cannot include a subscript to ##G## in the following app:
https://app.diagrams.net
am I missing something? can it be done?
Thanks!

I mean how to write the second 2 in ##G_2##? where I want the following to be typed: ##f_{2,G_2}##.

Subscript to a subscript? It seems that is not possible.

OK, then I'll use the old "_".

It looks like an emoticon... :oldbiggrin:

Or maybe use something else, like tikz in LaTeX (which is, BTW, a bit complex).

Oh I see!

Select Extras -> Mathematical typesetting and then you can use ## \LaTeX ## e.g. \(f_{2,G_2}\)

Thanks, you are a genius! should have played around with the app myself, I guess I would have found it eventually... nonetheless thanks!
