Not sure what you mean.

Like this? [sub]A sample of what you might be talking about.[/sub]As per this example.

If that’s the case, it’s using the subscript or SUB command.

{sub} to turn it on, {/sub} to turn it off.

(Substitute straight brackets for curly ones.)

Or superscript, as the case may be.

[sup]A sample of superscript.[/sup]See how this works?

{sup} to turn it on, {/sup} to turn it off.
