Re: [Maxima-discuss] 1) How to display subscripts and superscript in WxMaxima 2) About the Manual ?

[Richard F. <fa...@gm...>]

There are several ways of doing this. If you are using wxmaxima, v[1]  will
display with a subscript.
You can also read about declare_index_properties,   which would allow you
to, for example, display
the 1  as a pre-superscript.  You may also find that v_1  works.

However, I suggest you use v0, v1,  etc. Why? They are simpler to type,
they are more compact, not
using more vertical space, and you are not using them for anything else.

  If you are eventually obligated
to have subscripts for typesetting, you can make appropriate substitutions
of the right forms for your
typesetting system, say TeX, after saving your interactions in a file.

simplest is probably just v[1].    but if you assign a value to v[1]  say
 v[1]:100,  then typing
v[1] will display as 100.  'v[1]  may do what you want.
