For simple cases the shifting works well. But for industrial applications where terms get to be quite long, it basic idea does not work well. The problem becomes significant when grouping terms using curly braces "{}". The superscript, subscript, and braces signs ( i.e. ^ _ {} ) are retained. a^{11} a_{21} I would very much like to have the additional capability of removing the symbols ^ _ {} when displaying, to get a11 a21 where only the shift and font decrease are shown. -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email
