public class Sub<T extends Sub<T>> extends PhrasingContentElement<T>
Represents an HTML <sub> element for displaying subscript text.

This class provides functionality to create subscript text, which appears half a character below the normal line and is often rendered in a smaller font. Subscripts are commonly used in mathematical formulas, chemical formulas, and other technical notations where characters need to appear below the baseline.

Features:

  • Renders text below the normal baseline
  • Typically displayed in a smaller font size
  • Supports text initialization through constructor
  • Commonly used for mathematical and chemical formulas
  • Extends
    invalid reference 
    TextElement
    for text content management

Usage: 


 // Create subscript for chemical formula
 Span formula = new Span();
 formula.addElement(new Text("H"));
 formula.addElement(new Sub("2"));
 formula.addElement(new Text("O"));
 // Renders as: H₂O

 // Create subscript for mathematical notation
 Span math = new Span();
 math.addElement(new Text("x"));
 math.addElement(new Sub("1"));
 // Renders as: x₁

 // Empty subscript for dynamic content
 Sub subscript = new Sub();
 subscript.setText("n");
