Original Source

The <msub> MathML element is used to attach a subscript to an expression.

It uses the following syntax: <msub> base subscript </msub>.

Attributes

This element's attributes include the global MathML attributes as well as the following deprecated attribute:

  • subscriptshift {{deprecated_inline}} {{Non-standard_Inline}}
    • : A {{cssxref("length-percentage")}} indicating the minimum amount to shift the baseline of the subscript down.

[!NOTE] For the subscriptshift attribute, some browsers may also accept legacy MathML lengths.

Examples

html
<math display="block">
  <msub>
    <mi>X</mi>
    <mn>1</mn>
  </msub>
</math>
