The normal way of entering quotation marks in text mode (two back ticks for the left and two apostrophes for the right), such as \text {a ``quoted'' word} will not work correctly. As a workaround, you can use the Unicode left and right quotation mark characters, which are available from the "Symbols" dropdown panel beneath the editor: \text { a ...
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.
A superscript or subscript is text that is positioned slightly above or below the normal line of type. Superscripts and subscripts are often rendered in a smaller font size than the adjacent normal text. This part of the Manual of Style aims to achieve consistency in the use and formatting of superscripts and subscripts in Wikipedia articles.
Superscripts and subscripts of arbitrary height can be done with the \raisebox{<dimen>}{<text>} command: the first argument is the amount to raise, and the second is the text; a negative first argument will lower the text. In this case the text is not resized automatically, so a sizing command can be included, e.g. go\raisebox{1ex}{\large home}.
<u> was presentational element of HTML that was originally used to underline text; this usage was deprecated in HTML4 in favor of the CSS style {text-decoration: underline}. [4] In HTML5, the tag reappeared but its meaning was changed significantly: it now "represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that ...
<pre> is a parser tag that emulates the HTML <pre> tag. It defines preformatted text that is displayed in a fixed-width font and is enclosed in a dashed box. HTML-like and wiki markup tags are escaped, spaces and line breaks are preserved, but HTML elements are parsed.
The rendering is always done in HTML; this offers an alternative to using the TeX preprocessor via the <math>...</math> tags, which display the material in a serif typeface regardless of the typeface of the running text. Unlike with TeX/HTML rendering, the type size of the subscripts and superscripts is always reduced, in keeping with common ...
The subscript text in the first integral above, using \mbox, is conspicuously bigger than in the second, which uses \text (on some browsers, you might not see this effect if you're using mathJax, and on others you will, and it may also depend on how you have set your preferences). \text, on the other hand, uses sizes appropriate to the ...
