CSS Superscript & Subscript

 

  • The superscript(<sup>) text appears in a smaller font and the half character above the normal line(like x2 + y2 = r2).
  • The subscript(<sub>) text appears in a smaller font and the half character below the normal line(like H2O, H2SO4).

 

Example- Superscript:

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#super{
vertical-align:super;
font-size: medium;
}
h3{
color:red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Vertical-align: super; </h1>
<h3>x<span id="super">2</span>+ y<span id="super">2</span> = r<span id="super">2</span></h3>
<h3> (a + b)<span id="super">2</span> = a<span id="super">2</span> + b<span id="super">2</span> + 2ab </h3>
<h3>5<span id="super">th</span></h3>
</body>
