this should be pretty simple

I have a variable that needs both a superscript and a subscript next to it.

like this

I have tried the equation tool, it seems to have everything you can think of except this.

the only thing I can think of is to use the graphics tool but that is way overkill for a short formula that really belongs inline text.

any ideas?

thanks

You can use the Exponent button to create the superscript and then the Subscript button to create the subscript. I have had no luck in using the Superscript button in a way that lets stack a subscript underneath.

I was able to get this with the old-fashioned equation editor in FrameMaker 2019:

There are micro-positioning buttons in the Positioning page of the palette so you should be able to move the A over to the left.

Never having need to do this, V subscript A, with a Rubi "min" on the A might get you started.

Rubi properties are in Format » Document

Whether or not you can specify Rubi in a Variable, I don't know.
