GREP and Equations Help

[irphanji]

I have many equations to format. I created a stylesheet for numbering system.

Font is Times New Roman | Regular | 12pt.

Condition: All equations will have italic letter but normal superscripts and numbers.

How can I achieve this? I want to use GREP Style attached to Paragraph Style.

How is this possible?

Since in a GREP style you can look for text only, not for any formatting (such as -Superscript), you can't use a GREP style. You'll have to use a GREP query from the Find/Change window.

\<[\u\l]{1,2}(?=\h?[\d[:sm:]])|[\d[:sm:]]\h?\K[\u\l]{1,2}\>

I am using this right now but there is one issue. This is also applying on two letters.'is'

Let the superscript apart. Can we use xyz, abc or pqr alone?

Use the positive look behind if only numbers are found before that the italic character style is applied.
