# Subscripts and Superscripts

> Add subscript and superscript formatting using inline formulas or shortcuts.

You can add subscripts and superscripts to your text using mathematical notation shortcuts or the inline formula feature.

## Using Shortcuts

Type these inline formulas directly in your text:

* **Subscript**: `$$_2$$` (for example: H₂O would be `H$$_2$$O`)
* **Superscript**: `$$^2$$` (for example: x² would be `x$$^2$$`)

## Using Inline Formulas

You can also use the inline formula feature to create more complex subscripts and superscripts:

To insert an inline formula:

1. Type `$` twice to open the formula editor
2. Enter your mathematical notation (e.g., `_2` for subscript or `^2` for superscript)
3. Type `$` twice again to close the formula

<Info title="Mathematical Notation">
  Craft uses LaTeX-style mathematical notation for formulas. For complex equations beyond simple subscripts and superscripts, see [Math Formulas](/en/write-and-edit/math-formulas).
