Example 1

An ordinary subscript:

...
<p>This article by Peter Wilmshurst (10 October 1998, pp 996-9) 
used the incorrect abbreviation for inspired partial pressure 
of oxygen. The abbreviation should have been Pi<sc>o</sc><sub>2</sub> 
not Fi<sc>o</sc><sub>2</sub>.</p>
...

Example 2

As shown formatted above, a subscript and superscript in a “stacked” arrangement:

...
<body>
<p>The <italic>Escherichia coli argU</italic> gene encodes a minor arginine 
tRNA, tRNA<sup arrange="stack">Arg</sup><sub arrange="stack">UCU</sub>, 
which corresponds to the rare codon AGA and possibly AGG ....</p>
...
</body>
