For my useless OT topic I need subscripts. I saw the "font=" button while editing but I have no idea how to use it to get subscripts. |

not sure if subscripts is supported... but you use the font button like so... Code: [font= fontname ]your text[/font] examples hello in arial hello in magneto hello in papyrus |

I guess you could always try using different font sizes for subscripts. For example: X0, X1, X2, ..., Xn Is there a pressing desire for subscripts or superscripts? |

Specifically, it sets the font-family CSS property, I think (http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-family.asp). Your browser will attempt to render the text based on the font that you specify in the property, I believe, so I don't think it's a thing that's specific to this forum. |

Subscripts should now work by using the "subscript" tag, and superscripts should now work by using the "superscript" tag around the text that you'd like to {sub|super}script. Here're a couple of examples: H2O L192 It'll take a bit longer to get full latex support working... |

Kirby, while you're under the hood, can you fix the 'sl' tag? It has an extraneous '='. Thanks |

The way the sl tag currently works is that you use the "=" to specify the SL page that you want to go to, and you use what's between the brackets to indicate the text. For example, you could link to joseki like this. |

I don't know, what do you think? Do we want to give people that power? At least we can have an easier time arguing about math. There are some latex mods for phpbb, so I might not have to do everything manually if I were to get this implemented. |

I really like texing things ... as in I'd probably tex up grocery lists if I did such a thing. It's a really nonessential item for this forum, though. |

As for LaTeX support, I know the xkcd forums have it, so it's definitely possible. |
