Hi there!
Welcome to OSU Drupal Droplets!
This is Joe Fenn with Oregon State University's
Web and Mobile Services.
Today we're going to continue our exploration
of CKEditor by taking a look at some simple
text formatting options like superscript,
subscript, and we're also going to take a
look at how you can insert characters and
symbols into your body text.
We will get underway here by clicking on the
Edit tab of our test page.
Once our edit form loads here we'll just come
on down into the Body area.
And, we're just gonna show a real simple subscript
and superscript.
Basically you just put your cursor where you
want the subscript or superscript to show.
And you click the appropriate toolbar button
up here.
Then just enter the character that you want
to subscript or superscript.
So that was an example of a subscript.
And here we will do a superscript.
Notice subscript is below, superscript is
above.
So that's pretty simple.
Now let's take a look at some different character
options that we have.
We click on the Omega sign for our special
character dialog box.
So you can see, there's a few different things
here including things like Cyrillic characters,
characters with umlauts, we have some Spanish
characters in here as well.
For example we have the eñe character.
Most commonly, what you will probably end
up using this for would be to, like, enter
a Euro sign or a copyright or trademark sign.
So there's also some fractions here, too,
as well as degrees.
Let's go ahead and put a copyright sign in.
There it is, pretty simple.
Now, if you wanted to superscript this, you
could pop a superscript there and then come
into your characters and we now have a superscripted
copyright sign.
So, let's go ahead and scroll down and save
this then take a look at what we have.
And it prints up, pretty much, the way we
expect it to.
We've got our superscript copyright right
here.
We've got a subscript and we've got another
superscript here.
And that's about it!

I hope to see you for future tutorials!
