how to add subscript(or superscript) in notion block?

Question

i am new in using notion as a notebook.Before this,i use oneNote instead,because i found that notion is more convinient in same ways.But one thing making me annoyed is that i can't add subscript(or superscript) in notion text block。Are there any fellows can handle this? as shown: text with subscript i need

when i edit in notion block i get like this

• Nabil Farhan: Please provide some more details. Like what you have tried so far? What is your desired output?
• sayno: @Nabil Farhan ,i have add two picture as detail
• sayno: I got a reply from the notion offically that they do not support this so far

Answer 1

For subscript:

/math

Then C_1 renders C₁

For superscript:

/math

Then C^2 renders C²

Answer 2

In the latest version as of writing, you could use:

1. $$c^2$$ - for superscript
2. $$c_2$$ - for subscript

If you write any mathematical equation between $$ $$, it will render beautifully on notion.

• Resul Çelik: this works. Thanks!

Answer 3

For more than 1 character superscript

/math
P^{xyz}

Result: P^xyz

For more than 1 character subscript

/math
P_{xyz}

Result: P_xyz

In fact, this works for 1 or many characters as subscript or superscript.

Answer 4

For anyone stumbling upon this question who does not want to write math equations but simply wants to add a couple of superscript or exponent elements to a Notion page, for instance to write footnotes: there seems to be no way to add "simple" superscript (inline and with the same font), but you can use superscript unicode characters, for instance with a tool such as this one.

It is not perfect as many characters are not available, but will cover many1 common2 uses3 of superscriptcɪtatɪon needed.

Answer 5

Even I just started using notion and faced the same problem. The solution I found was to keep a tab of laTex containing the syntax for all the required math formulae open. It is only temporary as you will get used to them pretty quickly.

Answer 6

In Notion, there are two ways to add math formulas: inline equations and block equations. Both use KaTeX formatting to show the formulas. KaTeX is a TeX display formulas method based on JavaScrpt language. When you place a block or inline equation, for your example, you have to do something like that in the code:

w_{1}=0 ~,~ w_{2}=1

Note that spaces are not rendered, you gotta use ~ separate things, and the { } on these subscripts are optional because when not placed, the "_" will take just the first next character when it is not placed the brackets. To do superscript, change the "_" to "^". You can combine both in the same main variable, like w_2^2=1.

In the following links, you can see a Notion's guide about how to use it, the supported features KaTeX allows you to do, and a link to easy creating formulas.

Take time to try and explore writing by typping. Then, when you get used to it, it flows easily like writing regular text.

Answer 7

You can use tex to write things is superscript or subscript or basically any type of formulae , but its still in tex.

Answer 8

I did and worked on my Notion

Step 1: Choose what to add subscript(or superscript) in notion block (Example a^n)

Step 2: Choose symbol sqrt(x)

Step 3: Press "Done"

Answer 9

Follow these steps to add subscript text in Notion:

1. Use the /math command to insert a math block. Block equation will display your text as a separate block.
2. Inline equation will display your text inline with regular text.
3. Write your text using TeX Notation.
4. Use underscore (_) for subscript, caret (^) for superscript, tilde (~) for space and curly brackets ({}) to group more than one character together.
5. Enter your properly formatted TeX text and click Done.
6. You now have your subscript / superscript text displayed on your Notion page.
