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...



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?

Take it 50 steps further and implement LaTeX .

Yes, please! I've been annoyed countless times at the lack of it.

This helps of course. Kirby helps also. But then where can I find what fonts are implemented?

It just transforms it into a tag that is rendered by your browser. 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.

The funny thing is, this thought entered my mind as I was posting about subscripts, but I didn't want to jump into that wormhole... :-p

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...

Can we make that sub/sup? this is rather long.

No problem. I updated it. I was afraid that people might not guess what it was, but I think the help text is probably sufficient.

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

Sure, Joaz, but could you provide clarification on the behavior that you'd like? 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.

Not sure if serious, but if you Do this, and those who know latex will be able to win any argument through beautiful typography. Are you sure you want to give this power?

Hehe. 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.

Ahhh...I see. It does work. Thanks. I was just using improperly. I assumed that, like most tage, we had to put stuff between the tags. I didn't realize that we had to modify the tag itself.

[sl=]my mistakes look like this[/sl]

You can use just the 'sl' tag, but it will fail if you use any spaces, so I just always use 'sl='.

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

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just copy paste this feature from xkcd to L19²
