COMSOL 6.4 - Using Special Formats and Symbols in Texts

For titles, including color legend titles, as well as axis labels, parameter indicators, and manual legend texts in graph plots, you can use formatted strings that include HTML tags, Greek letters, and mathematical symbols. The tables in the following sections provide information about supported format and symbols. In addition to ASCII characters, Greek letters, and the mathematical symbols listed in Table 0-8 and the following tables, the COMSOL Multiphysics software correctly displays any Unicode-based character that you paste into a text field.

	To display a backslash (\) in, for example, a title, use \backslash.

Table 21-4: Valid HTML tags.
HTML tag	Description
<b> </b>	Enclosed text is rendered using a bold font.
<i> </i>	Enclosed text is rendered using an italic font.
<sub> </sub>	Enclosed text is rendered in subscript with the enclosed text slightly lower than the surrounding text.
<sup> </sup>	Enclosed text is rendered in superscript with the enclosed text slightly higher than the surrounding text.
<tt> </tt>	Enclosed text is rendered using a monospaced font.
<u> </u>	Enclosed text is underlined.
