How to Do Subscript in Notion

Use this interactive demo to learn how to write subscript and superscript text in Notion using math blocks.

Quick summary

Notion does not have a native subscript or superscript button, but you can achieve the same result by inserting a math block and writing text in TeX notation. This method works for both inline equations and standalone block equations inside any Notion page.


Steps

  1. Type the /math command in your Notion page to insert a math block — choose Block equation to display your formula as a separate block.
  2. Select Inline equation if you want your subscript or superscript text to appear inline alongside regular text.
  3. Write your content using TeX notation inside the math block editor.
  4. Use underscore (_) for subscript, caret (^) for superscript, tilde (~) for a space, and curly brackets ({}) to group more than one character.
  5. Enter your properly formatted TeX text and click Done to confirm.
  6. Your subscript or superscript text is now displayed correctly on your Notion page.

📌 Why this matters

Notion lacks built-in subscript and superscript formatting, which makes it difficult to write chemical formulas, mathematical expressions, or scientific notation directly in your notes. By using Notion's math block feature with TeX notation, users can render properly formatted subscript and superscript text without any third-party tools or workarounds. This capability is essential for students, researchers, and professionals who need to document technical content accurately inside Notion. Understanding this method unlocks more powerful and precise documentation directly within your existing Notion workspace.
