({{, (RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z]
is an object that formats as (Subscript[x, y]^z). }})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

Input of the form (Subscript[x, y]^z) in a notebook is interpreted as (RefLink[Power, paclet:ref/Power])[(RefLink[Subscript, paclet:ref/Subscript])[x,y],z], not as (RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z].

To enter a subsuperscript in a notebook, use either (Key1[ctrl, _]) to begin a regular subscript or (Key1[ctrl, ^]) to begin a regular superscript. After typing the first script, use (Key1[ctrl, %]) to move to the opposite script position. (Key1[ctrl, space]) moves out of the subscript or superscript position.

(RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z] formats as (Subscript[x, y]^z) in (RefLink[StandardForm, paclet:ref/StandardForm]) and (RefLink[TraditionalForm, paclet:ref/TraditionalForm]).

In (RefLink[InputForm, paclet:ref/InputForm]), (RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z] formats literally as (RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z].

The baseline of (RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z] is taken to be the baseline of x.

(RefLink[Subsuperscript, paclet:ref/Subsuperscript])[x,y,z] is usually output with y and z in a smaller font than x.
