Pro Tips for Doing Subscript in Notion

  1. Use the Markdown Shortcut
    Type your text, then wrap the subscript portion in <sub> and </sub> HTML tags. For example: H<sub>2</sub>O will display as H₂O in Notion.

  2. Use the Equation Feature for Complex Formatting
    Type /math or /equation and use LaTeX formatting for subscripts, e.g., H_2O for H₂O. This is ideal for scientific or mathematical notes.

  3. Combine Subscript with Superscript
    Within LaTeX equations, you can use both subscript and superscript together, e.g., x_1^2 for x₁².

  4. Test in Inline vs. Block Mode
    Equations can be inserted inline with text or as separate blocks for better readability.

  5. Preview Before Finalizing
    Notion may render differently in mobile vs. desktop, so check your formatting on both if appearance is important.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

  1. Expecting a Built-in Button for Subscript
    Notion doesn’t have a direct toolbar option for subscript—HTML tags or LaTeX are needed.

  2. Forgetting to Close HTML Tags
    If you use <sub> without </sub>, the rest of your text may appear as subscript. Always close your tags properly.

  3. Spacing Issues in LaTeX
    In equations, extra spaces can break formatting. Keep subscript expressions together without spaces, e.g., H_ 2O (wrong) vs. H_2O (correct).

  4. Using LaTeX for Plain Text Blocks
    LaTeX equations render in a special style—not plain text. Use HTML tags if you want subscript to match regular text style.

  5. Mobile Editing Limitations
    Typing HTML tags or LaTeX is more tedious on mobile; it’s easier to add subscripts on desktop and edit later.
