<title>Superscript and Subscript</title>
<p>
Some equations may require numbers to be entered in superscript or subscript form. e.g.
</p>
<example>
<p>
x³+2x²−5
</p>
</example>
<p>
To enter superscript numbers with the mouse select the number mode using the the <gui>⎕ⁿ</gui> and <gui>⎕n</gui> buttons.
When one of these modes is active clicking the number buttons will enter numbers in superscript or subscript.
To return to normal number mode click the active button.
</p>
<p>
To enter superscript numbers with the keyboard hold down <key>Ctrl</key> while entering the number.
Hold <key>Alt</key> for subscript.
</p>
<p>
The number mode returns to normal when entering the next non-number character (e.g. +).
