The font sizes and types are independent of browser settings or CSS. Font sizes and types will often deviate from what HTML renders. Vertical alignment with the surrounding text can also be a problem; a work-around is described in the "Alignment with normal text flow" section below. The CSS selector of the images is img.tex.
A formula editor is a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions. Formula editors typically serve two purposes: They allow word processing and publication of technical content either for print publication, or to generate raster images for web pages or screen presentations.
The TeX markup of <math>...</math> uses a serif font to display a formula (whether as SVG or HTML). HTML math expressions should use the {} template so they display in a serif font as well. Doing so will also ensure that the text within a formula will not line-wrap, and that the font size will closely match the surrounding text in any skin.
The subscripts and superscripts are set in upright font, in keeping with normal practice for numerals and descriptive subscripts. To set the superscript or subscript in oblique font, as for a subscript that itself is a variable, use the HTML <var>...</var> or <i>...</i> tags, or the wikimarkup for italics ( '' ).
The intended use [2] when these characters were added to Unicode was to produce true superscripts and subscripts so that chemical and algebraic formulas could be written without markup. Thus "H₂O" (using a subscript 2 character) is supposed to be identical to "H 2 O" (with subscript markup).
In HTML and Wiki syntax, subscript text is produced by putting it inside the tags <sub> and </sub>. Similarly, superscripts are produced with <sup> and </sup>. [7] The exact size and position of the resulting characters will vary by font and browser, but are usually reduced to around 75% original size.

The syntax is: {{underset|under|base}} where under is some character to underset centrally beneath base, and under has a font size of 70% that of base.. This template can behave poorly when combined directly with {{}}, with symbols not aligning; use {{overunderset}} in preference.
