Plain ASCII is normally sufficient for almost all note taking. Exceptions
include scientific notes, which often require mathematical symbols and the
occasional formula. @LaTeX{}@footnote{@LaTeX{} is a macro system based on
Donald E. Knuth's @TeX{} system. Many of the features described here as
``@LaTeX{}'' are really from @TeX{}, but for simplicity I am blurring this
distinction.} is widely used to typeset scientific documents. Org mode
supports embedding @LaTeX{} code into its files, because many academics are
used to writing and reading @LaTeX{} source code, and because it can be
readily processed to produce pretty output for a number of export back-ends.

Just like in @LaTeX{}, @samp{^} and @samp{_} are used to indicate super- and
subscripts. Again, these can be used without embedding them in math-mode
delimiters. To increase the readability of ASCII text, it is not necessary
(but OK) to surround multi-character sub- and superscripts with curly braces.
For example
@samp{^} and @samp{_} are used to indicate super- and subscripts. To
increase the readability of ASCII text, it is not necessary---but OK---to
surround multi-character sub- and superscripts with curly braces. Those are,
however, mandatory, when more than one word is involved. For example
@example
The mass of the sun is M_sun = 1.989 x 10^30 kg. The radius of
the sun is R_@{sun@} = 6.96 x 10^8 m.
The radius of the sun is R_sun = 6.96 x 10^8 m. On the other hand, the
radius of Alpha Centauri is R_@{Alpha Centauri@} = 1.28 x R_@{sun@}.
