How to do superscripts and subscripts in Jupyter Notebook?

Question

I want to use numbers to indicate references in footnotes, so I was wondering inside of Jupyter Notebook how can I use superscripts and subscripts?

Answer 1

In Jupyter notebook, you can convert a cell into a code cell, markdown cell or a raw cell. You need a markdown cell for superscripts and subscripts. A markdown cell can be created by selecting a cell then pressing the Esc key followed by the M key.

Then you can input the following code that uses latex with markdown to represent sub/super-scripts:

For Latex subscript:

$x_{2}$

For Latex superscript:

$x^{2}$

You can find more detailed examples here.

Hope this answer helps.
