is an option for Style that specifies the minimum distance in 
‐heights to shift subscripts and superscripts.
ScriptBaselineShifts
is an option for Style that specifies the minimum distance in 
‐heights to shift subscripts and superscripts.
Details
- The setting ScriptBaselineShifts->{sub,sup} uses shift sub for subscripts and sup for superscripts.
- A typical setting is ScriptBaselineShifts->{0.6,0.9}.
- The default setting ScriptBaselineShifts->{Automatic,Automatic} shifts subscripts and superscripts by a distance that depends on their height.
Examples
Basic Examples (1)
Default placement of subscripts and superscripts:
{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}Subscripts shifted down by two times their heights:
Style[{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}, ScriptBaselineShifts -> {2, Automatic}]Subscripts shifted down by zero 
-heights; superscripts shifted up by two times their heights:
Style[{Subscript[x, a], Subsuperscript[x, b, b], x^c}, ScriptBaselineShifts -> {0, 2}]Text
