Since this is a chemistry forum there should really be BBCode tags for subscript and superscript so people can write equations and formulae properly. barley81 - 19-7-2011 at 07:45
Use HTML i.e. use '<' instead of '[' for superscript/subscript
sample:
AA<sub>AA</sub><sup>AA</sup>
D'OH!! I typed HTTP when I meant HTML!!!

What he typed would look like this:
Code:
AA<sub>AA</sub><sup>AA</sup>
where subscripts are "sub" and superscripts are "sup".kmno4 - 22-7-2011 at 14:32
I mentioned similar things years ago, but administrators seem to be deaf and blind.
Other forums have friendly panel with sub- and pub- scripts.
You click "2" button on this panel and you have directly "<sub>2</sub>" in you post. The same with Greek alphabet, degree symbol, etc.
Here we have only panel with stupid "smiles" Bot0nist - 22-7-2011 at 15:37

Forum admins aren't PHP folk, hacking the code and then propagating those hacks into new versions of the software may be a bit more than they wish to
undertake.
Having learned HTML back in the days of Web-0.96.44.1.c I just struggle by with the pointy brackets. One could copy/past entries and use an external
HTML editor; but doing the HTML codes yourself likely helps fight off Alzheimer's (along with quitting smoking and walking instead of driving 3 block
to get beer.) kmno4 - 23-7-2011 at 14:30
Someone gives lollypops here ?
It could look like this (copied from local forum)
Very useful , but impossible to do in THIS forum. Such a shame.
You could do this with 4 clicks and sub- or sup- with 1 click of mouse, not knowing any coding.
No HTML , ASCII, Unicode. Simple and practical.
Typing HTML code here is pure masochism.
Try to write correcly any longer equation:
K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 + C2H5OH -> .....
How much time does it take ?? It is completely impractical.
Edit:
I do not understand you posts, what are you trying to show ?
That writing symbols is possible ? Question is not "if" but "how".

kmno4, what forum did you take this screenshot from?Logi010 - 19-4-2012 at 11:06
I can write as well! Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ....watson.fawkes - 19-4-2012 at 11:34
Well, you
likely do have a Greek keyboard. For the rest of the world, we have to make do with "HTML entities", written with an initial ampersand,
"&Gamma;" --> Γ. Thusly: Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ
Ι Κ ... While it looks the same, there are no special characters required.gutter_ca - 19-4-2012 at 12:17
Hopefully the super/subscript buttons are new since this thread was started...
As far as Greek letters go, WTF is wrong w/y'alls Character Maps?
