Question
A
Automatic paragraph text formatting (MText) uses the same mechanism for raising/lowering indices - superscripts and subscripts - as it does for adding fractions, so you usually can't easily output combined formatted text as e.g.:
x₁
—
y₁
But in most cases you can get around this limitation by inserting the superscript or subscript directly with the appropriate Unicode character (which you write as plain text, in the format \U+nnnnn), i.e. in plain text form, and then apply the text selection and the Stack/Fraction function in the context menu, creating the resulting fraction.
Common superscripts are part of the standard character set of most fonts - e.g.:
- 1 = \U+00B9
- 2 = \U+00B2
- 3 = \U+00B3
- 4 = \U+2074
- 5 = \U+2075
- 6 = \U+2076
- 7 = \U+2077
- 8 = \U+2078
- 9 = \U+2079
- 0 = \U+2070
- n = \U+207F
- - = \U+207B
However, subscripts are not that common in fonts and you will probably have to choose one of the TrueType fonts with the full Unicode character set, e.g. Arial Unicode or Times New Roman.
Examples:
- 1 = \U+2081
- 2 = \U+2082
- 3 = \U+2083
- 4 = \U+2084
- 5 = \U+2085
- 6 = \U+2086
- 7 = \U+2087
- 8 = \U+2088
- 9 = \U+2089
- 0 = \U+2080
- i = \U+1D62
- u = \U+1D64
- v = \U+1D65
- x = \U+2093
- n = \U+2099
- - = \U+208B
