+
+ <p>
+ Some equations may require numbers to be entered in superscript or subscript form. e.g.
+ </p>
+ <example>
+ <p>
+ x³+2x²−5
+ </p>
+ </example>
+ <p>
+ To enter superscript numbers with the mouse select the number mode using the the <gui>↑n</gui> and <gui>↓n</gui> buttons.
+ When one of these modes is active clicking the number buttons will enter numbers in superscript or subscript.
+ To return to normal number mode click the active button.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To enter superscript numbers with the keyboard hold down <key>Ctrl</key> while entering the number.
+ Hold <key>Alt</key> for subscript.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The number mode returns to normal when entering the next non-number character (e.g. +).
+ </p>
