Summary
The HTML Subscript Element (<sub>) defines a span of text that should be displayed, for typographic reasons, lower, and often smaller, than the main span of text.
Usage note:
- This element should be used for typographical reasons only, i.e. changing the position of the text changing its meaning like in mathematical (like t2, though the use of a MathML formula should be considered) or chemical formulas (like H2O).
- This element must not be used for styling purpose like the styling of the product name Latex. In that case CSS style should be used: the
vertical-alignproperty with thesubvalue will achieve the same effect.
