{superscripts} are smaller characters appearing set slightly above the normal line.
superscripts are numbers, figures, symbols, or indicators that appear smaller than the normal line of type and are set slightly above it (above the baseline). Superscripts are perhaps best known for their use in formulas, mathematical expressions, and descriptions of chemical compounds or isotopes, but have many other uses as well.
What is the easiest way to superscript text outside of math mode?
For example, let's say I want to write the $n^{th}$ element, but without the math mode's automatic italicization of the th. And what if I still want the n to be in math mode, but the…
How do I write x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x?
My LaTeX distribution doesn't wanna eat it, it stops swallowing stuff at the double power x^x^x.
What I'm aiming at is essentially building a telescope out of X's stacked on top of each other. Don't ask, that's…
From the attached figure, you can see the star on the left-hand side is higher than the star on the right-hand side. Is it possible to lower the star on the left to the same height as the right-hand…
I take it it is possible to redefine ^ (and _) to yield \textsuperscript
in text mode and work normally in math mode (is there a good reason why this is
not the default behaviour?), but I don't know how. This is what I…
The superscripts position is exactly the same for these two statements:
\vphantom{\int}^S and {}^S
How can I get the superscript higher up?
Edit
The \intis just an example. Here is another one: \vphantom{)}^S and )^S.
The \textsuperscript command makes the superscripted text go above the top of capital letters. Here's an example showing what I mean:
\textsuperscript{3} И сказ
As you can see, the superscripted 3 goes above the capital letter height.
I would like…
I want to have a primed product symbol, i.e. something like
$\prod^\prime$
but it puts the prime on top of the product symbol instead of next to it (as a superscript, as it usually works). Does anyone know how to do this?
I am trying to find a similar question but they all seem to suggest something completely different.
I want to create a superscript for a superscript. Essentially: 2^2^n
I want to denote the interior of $D^3$, so I use $\overset{\circ}{D^3}$. This looks like this:
However I find this kind of ugly, and would rather have the circ just above the $D$, but then $\overset{\circ}{D}^3$ is giving even stranger things, like…
I want to add a small text on a regular one.
It looks like a superscript but the difference is the regular text won't have any break.
I don't know how to explain the situation correctly so I added a sample image showing what I want to do.
Any…
I am used to use ** instead of ^.
Is it possible to somehow define macro that would interpret ** as ^?
I know that I can write ** and in the end replace it with ^ but that macro would be much more comfortable.
I have been looking for this few months…
I'd like to put one symbol over another? There are some similar things in math, like $\binom{a}{b}$, but I don't want the parentheses, or $\frac{a}{b}$ without the division line. The closest I've found is $\overset{a}{b}$ (from mathtools) but the a…
When I type $\overset{\circ}{Z}^\lambda$ the lambda is placed slightly above and to the right of the circle. Is there a way to make it appear as a superscript on the Z? I tried $\overset{\circ}{Z^\lambda}$, but then the circle is too high and to the…
I have an operation that I call \conv, that I defined as follows:
\newcommand\conv{{}^{\scriptstyle\smile}}
Sometimes I use it in this situation:
$a\conv$
and sometimes I use it in this situation:
$$\big(\prod a\big)\conv$$
In both cases, the…
