|==Greek Letters== Write "alpha", "beta", or "gamma" in lowercase.

Example.
  • "alpha" --> alpha
  • "beta" --> beta
  • "chi" --> chi
  • "delta" --> delta
  • "epsilon" --> epsilon
  • "gamma" --> gamma
  • "eta" --> eta
  • and so on.

Super/subscripts

Use "_" for subscripts, "^" for superscripts. To show both, write the longer super/sub-script first. Some word must follow after a space.

Example.
  • D _10 ^20 (next word) --> D_1^2 (next word)
  • D _10000 ^1 (next word) --> D_10000^1 (next word)
  • D ^10000 _1 (next word) --> D^10000_1 (next word)
  • D ^10 _10000 (bad example) -->D^10_10000 (bad example)
