AI Thread Summary
To display square roots, superscripts, and subscripts in the forum, users can utilize LaTeX formatting. The inline format for square roots is achieved with \sqrt{a_1^2}, while the display format uses $$\sqrt{a_1^2}$$. The discussion emphasizes that these formatting options are detailed in the forum's FAQ and HowTo sections. Proper usage of these symbols enhances clarity in mathematical expressions.

How do I indicate or show square root sign, super script and sub script? How do I use latex in the forum?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
All of this is answered in our FAQ and HowTo.

The short version:
[noparse]√a12[/noparse]
Inline ##[/color]\sqrt{a_1^2}#[/color]#
$$[/color]\sqrt{a_1^2}$[/color]$

gives

√a12
Inline ##\sqrt{a_1^2}##
$$\sqrt{a_1^2}$$
 
Thank you.
