Italics

The formula can be as simple as the variable x but you want even such simple formulae to appear distinct from the plain letter ``x''. This is done by using the italics tags. You don't need LaTeX if you only need to display simple formula like (a+b)² but it may help to make them italic: (a+b)².

(Two other explicit font styles, bold and <tt>teletype</tt>, Are also used extensively on this and other Web pages)

Compare these regular and italic versions (and HTML source):
( x² ± y² )^(n-3) vs. ( x² ± y² )^(n-3) ( x² ± y² )^(n-3)

`Subscripts, superscripts`

HTML allows for a simple superscripting and subscripting using the tag pairs and ; Super^script and Sub_script e^iµ_n (source: eiµn) Back to previous page
