Every now and then I see a posting with text in really little letters.
I saw the "toolbar" above the Reply window. Well, maybe that's how to do it...
According to the Preview, it is. :)

You can use the and or the and to make lowered and raised small text, respectively. If you want small text centered on the line, don't forget the [sub] trick.

In other words, to make it go this is lowered small text I type this is lowered small text.

To make it go this is raised small text I type this is raised small text.

And to make it go [sup]this is small text centered on the line, which looks much cooler, I type [sub]this is small text centered on the line[sub].


Also, I imagine you could use the 'size' button the new vb console gives you, but that just wouldn't be as cool. That's the easy way.

Sup/sub was indeed a cool and clever workaround; I've used it myself many times. But as you should be able to see below, it makes the line spacing a bit uneven to accommodate the expected superscript or subscript. Size=1 doesn't have that defect. As happens to most everything, sup/sub is now obsolete and passé.

using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub
using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub
using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub
using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub using sup/sub
using size=1 using size=1 using size=1 using size=1
using size=1 using size=1 using size=1 using size=1
using size=1 using size=1 using size=1 using size=1
using size=1 using size=1 using size=1 using size=1

You say obsolete and passe, I say cool. Tomato tomato, etc.

Say this three times fast. :D
