      Hello, I have some problem to put the number on chemistry formula, because not only one number before the “formula”, have two number up and down before the formula. I try to use superscript and subscript, but it’s not work. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks You.

      Btw, how can I put the attachment file to showing the problem in the topic?

      a. If it’s only one formula, try the kerning options and if needed, the baseline shift. That way you can put in superscript one number and in subscript the lower part. Then use negative kerning on the subscript part to get it under the superscript.
      b. Put the attachment somewhere (imgur) and put the link in the question.

      Some of these kinds of equations may be very tricky. There may be some tips in these articles, though:

      Sometimes you may need to use a tool like MathTools from movemen to create complex equations.
