|==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)
