Forum needs subscript and superscript tags
Since this is a chemistry forum there should really be BBCode tags for subscript and superscript so people can write equations and formulae properly.

Use HTML i.e. use '<' instead of '[' for superscript/subscript
sample:
AA<sub>AA</sub><sup>AA</sup>
D'OH!! I typed HTTP when I meant HTML!!!

What he typed would look like this:
| Code: |
AA<sub>AA</sub><sup>AA</sup>
|
where subscripts are "sub" and superscripts are "sup".

I mentioned similar things years ago, but administrators seem to be deaf and blind.
Other forums have friendly panel with sub- and pub- scripts.
You click "2" button on this panel and you have directly "<sub>2</sub>" in you post. The same with Greek alphabet, degree symbol, etc.
Here we have only panel with stupid "smiles"

If it's that hard for you to type sub /sub then maybe you should take some typing classes KMnO<sub>4</sub>.

Forum admins aren't PHP folk, hacking the code and then propagating those hacks into new versions of the software may be a bit more than they wish to
undertake.
Having learned HTML back in the days of Web-0.96.44.1.c I just struggle by with the pointy brackets. One could copy/past entries and use an external
HTML editor; but doing the HTML codes yourself likely helps fight off Alzheimer's (along with quitting smoking and walking instead of driving 3 block
to get beer.)

Someone gives lollypops here ?

Very useful , but impossible to do in THIS forum. Such a shame.

You could do this with 4 clicks and sub- or sup- with 1 click of mouse, not knowing any coding.
No HTML , ASCII, Unicode. Simple and practical.
Typing HTML code here is pure masochism.
Try to write correcly any longer equation:
K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 + C2H5OH -> .....
How much time does it take ?? It is completely impractical.
Edit:
I do not understand you posts, what are you trying to show ?
That writing symbols is possible ? Question is not "if" but "how".

Well, you
likely do have a Greek keyboard. For the rest of the world, we have to make do with "HTML entities", written with an initial ampersand,
"&Gamma;" --> Γ. Thusly: Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ
Ι Κ ... While it looks the same, there are no special characters required.
