Applying Superscript and Subscript Formatting
Superscript formatting makes text smaller and raises it off the baseline. It is commonly used for exponents in math equations (for example, X2+1) and footnote numbers and symbols (like this**). You can also use superscript for ordinal numbers such as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to make your page look more polished.
Subscript makes text smaller and moves it below the baseline. The most common use for subscript is in chemical formulas (for example, H2SO4).
