|==Greek Letters==

To display Greek letters, simply write "alpha", "beta", or "gamma", followed by a space.

ギリシャ文字を記述するには、alpha, beta, gamma とそのまま書いてください。

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 add both, write " ^ " first (super-, then subscript). For only one letter, you can directly write the letter whereas for multiple letters, use { }. If without { }, at least one space is needed after the script.

下付文字は _ 上付き文字は ^ の後に書いてください。両方つけるときは、^ _ （上付き、下付き）の順番で書いてください。１文字の場合はそのまま記述し、複数文字の場合は、{ } でくくってください。{ }でくくらない場合は直後にスペース（空白）が必要です。

Example.

• D^2_1 (next word) → D^2_1 (next word)
• D^{20}_{10} (next word) → D^{20}_{10} (next word)
• D^1_{10000} (next word) → D^{1}_{10000} (next word)
• D^{10000}_1 (next word) → D^{10000}_{1} (next word)
• D^{10}_{10000} (next word) → D^{10}_{10000} (next word)
• D_1 → D_1
• D^2 → D^2
• Delta^{12.13} → Delta^{12.13}
