Is there any option in Dropbox Paper to create Sub/superscripts without Latex?

Is there any option in Dropbox Paper to create Sub/superscripts without Latex?

  • Hi there,

    If just done a quick check using our own Paper docs. Currently we don't have this option in Dropbox Paper, but I'll forward your comments to our development team to see if they could implement this.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    On my Mac, using Firefox, I found if I copy text from an HTML view that contains a superscript, Dropbox Paper will retain the superscript pasting that content into a document (as long as the content isn't only a superscript, but contains both regular text and superscript).

    So...a year later, and there is nothing to do a superscript??? 

     

    Is Dropbox Paper even an active project still, or have I wasted my time getting involved with it??? :unamused:

    Its still very active and has had lots and lots of improvements (certainly way more than Dropbox itself has had) - sadly requests on here do not guarantee they'll be implemented.

    Ok. Good to know.
    I would add that....superscripting is sort of a foundational 'word processor' type of function, so that's why I was kind of expecting it.

    No matter, hope to see some of these other improvements soon. Thanks.

    None as yet, however I’ve moved this to the feedback page to for other users to vote on the idea as well, which the dev team will take into consideration.

    There is a workaround in Paper to get subscripts and superscripts. Paper lets you insert Latex Code. To get subscript, use 

    $$_{random text}$$

    For superscripts use

    $$^{random text}$$
