Adding subscript text in Notion requires using the math equation feature with TeX notation. This method allows you to create both subscript and superscript formatting that displays properly in your Notion pages.

Whether you're writing scientific formulas, chemical equations, or mathematical expressions, this tutorial will show you exactly how to format subscript text using Notion's built-in math functionality.

Here's how to do subscript in Notion

  1. Type /math in your Notion page to open the math equation options.
  2. Select 'Block equation' to create a standalone math block or 'Inline equation' to embed within text.
  3. Enter your text content in the math editor using standard TeX formatting.
  4. Apply subscript by adding an underscore (_) before the character you want to make subscript.
  5. Use curly brackets {} to group multiple characters for subscript formatting.
