Template:Sub

The following documentation is located at Template:Sub/doc. [<Edit> Template:Sub/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:Sub]

The {{sub}} (subscript) OEIS Wiki formatting and function template is used for mathematical typesetting of subscripts in either HTML+CSS or LaTeX.

Usage

Text{{sub|subscript}} (relative size defaults to 0.75em, format defaults to htm)

Text{{sub|subscript|relative size}} (format defaults to htm)

Text{{sub|subscript|format}} (relative size defaults to 0.75em for htm)

Text{{sub|subscript|relative size|format}}

where

• the first parameter (subscript) is the subscript text;
• the [optional] second parameter (relative size) is relative size in either em units (e.g. 0.75em), or percentage (e.g. 75%) which is automatically converted to em units (100% = 1em) (relative size defaults to 0.75em);

and the [optional] last parameter (format), is from

• htm: HTML+CSS (default);
• tex: LaTeX (relative size is ignored, since we’re using LaTeX default behavior).

<sub>...</sub> vs. {{sub}}

With the {{math}} template DO NOT use the <sup>...</sup> and/or <sub>...</sub> tags!

text<sup>superscript</sup>, text<sub>subscript</sub> which yields

text^superscript, text_subscript

The {{^}}, {{sup}} and {{sub}} templates allow fine tweaking of the typesetting of exponents, superscripts and subscripts (mathematical typesetting with the {{math}} template).

Typesetting mathematics with the {{math}} template:

• use the {{^}} template for exponents (not for other superscripts).
• use the {{sup}} template for superscripts (other than exponents);
• use the {{sub}} template for subscripts.

Subsubscripts

The code : text<sub>subscript</sub> yields

text_subscript

and the code : text<sub>subscript<sub>subsubscript</sub></sub> yields

text_{subscriptsubsubscript}

whereas the code : text{{sub|subscript{{sub|subsubscript}}}} yields

textsubscriptsubsubscript

and the code : text{{sub|subscript{{sub|subsubscript|1em}}}} yields

textsubscriptsubsubscript
