Adding Superscripts and Subscripts

Add text above or below other text using direct formatting or LaTeX equations.

Written by Soren Bjornstad

RemNote offers two options for adding superscripts and subscripts to your notes.

  1. Use the direct superscript/subscript format options. You can find these on the … menu in the toolbar after selecting some text, or you can press Ctrl+Shift+. and Ctrl+Shift+, respectively (Cmd+Opt+. and Cmd+Opt+, on a Mac).

    Two numbered callouts on the toolbar above the text 'E=mc2': (1) the three-dot menu at the right end of the toolbar, and (2) the 'Superscript' and 'Subscript' entries in the 'Convert selected text' menu it opens.

    This method is convenient if you have some very simple math or chemical formulas, or are using the superscripts or subscripts for footnotes or other non-mathematical purposes.

  2. Use LaTeX equations. For more complicated math, you'll get much nicer formatting for both your superscripts/subscripts and the rest of your equation by using LaTeX. Type $$ to start entering a LaTeX equation.

    See Writing Equations with LaTeX for a detailed treatment of this feature.
