.fi.lm LEFTMG.s
Use SETSS to set the default movement for super/subscripts. The values can
be 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2. When either %@ or %~ are encountered, the super/sub
will be placed the specified vertical distance from the current line position.
.s 2;.lm LEFTMG
Defaults:
.s;.lm +7
The default setting is 1/2 line movement. This command does not cause a break.
.s 2;.lm LEFTMG
Notes:
.s;.lm +7
While processing an .EQ/.EEQ block, the sub/super movement is set to 1/8 line.
This can be overridden with a SETSS command in the equation block.
.ix Equation mode
.ix Superscript
.ix Subscript
.ix SETSS
.b
A SETSS of 3/8 is generally prefered for a default setting.
.b
One can define a special character for amount of movement by using the .SUB
command -
.b
.lm+7.nf
 .SETSS 1/8
 .SUB ] = "%@%@%@%@%@"
 .SUB [ = "%~%~%~%~%~"
.f.B
.LM-7
then ]3 would superscipt 3 5/8 of a line and [3 would cause 5/8 line
subscipt.
