Subscripts of greek letters

Post by kmath »

Hi all,

I'm trying to write Tau sub 1. I've tried the command $\tau_1$, as well as several iterations of that, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks,

kmath

Would you please always be so kind to prepare a working minimal example. Thiis is much easier and more comfortable for us to test.

You can test the following code by pressing the "OPEN IN WRITELATEX"-button.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\tau_1$
\end{document}
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi,

I actually made a mistake. The syntax is correct and the error was referring to something else.

Thanks anyway
