Use these buttons on PTC Community for convenient referencing of subscripts and superscripts in your discussions!

 

(Not to be confused with in-product Mathcad Prime's long-existing subscript and superscript buttons, which are readily available in  the ribbon with Text Formatting > Text Font; or with the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl - or Ctrl =, though in-product we say the latter is Ctrl +, implying Ctrl Shift =.  ...But that won't work.
Or if you're doing math and not text, use ^ for exponentiation or selected from Math > Operators > Algebra for superscript; and Math > Style > Subscript for subscript notation, or Ctrl -.
...Not to be confused with Matrix Indexing. Which looks like a subscript. But it's not.)


Spoiler
I was gonna make this a Mathcad Tip, but it turns out that the toolbar there is actually different than the toolbar everywhere else, and that was way too ironic for me to do.

Thanks!

Nonetheless LATEX support (at least a decent subset) would be nice in a forum dealing with a math software 😉

A small error seems to have crept in by implementing super-/subscripts.
The buttons are only displayed in the toolbar when you create a new post, but not when you edit your post later!

 

New reply, all OK:

Edit reply, the buttons are missing:

EDIT: I have also noticed that super-/subscripting is not available for Personal Messages either.
It wouldn't hurt to enable them there too ... 😉

Well spotted, Werner.

 

I wonder if this is a recent manifestation or whether my recollections of using them when editing a post are faulty.  I'd be far more surprised by the former than the latter ...
