HTML 4.0 Logo Reader Icon OEB 1.0 Logo PPC Logo <sub> Subscript

This tag reduces the font size of the enclosed text and floats it below the baseline as subscripted text. It is often combined with a link to a footnote or endnote, or is used in chemical formulae.

When used with footnotes, leave a space between the last character before the subscript and the numeral of the subscript. This makes it easier to select the word using Reader’s highlighting, copy, and lookup functions.
