Something is very wrong with your installation- the example works fine here. It seems like your org.el is not loaded properly since "org-use-sub-superscripts" is defined there: ,----[ Output of C-h v org-use-sub-superscripts] | org-use-sub-superscripts is a variable defined in `org.el'. | Its value is t |=20 | Documentation: | Non-nil means interpret "_" and "^" for export. | When this option is turned on, you can use TeX-like syntax for sub- and | superscripts. Several characters after "_" or "^" will be | considered as a single item - so grouping with {} is normally not | needed. For example, the following things will be parsed as single | sub- or superscripts. |=20 | 10^24 or 10^tau several digits will be considered 1 item. | 10^-12 or 10^-tau a leading sign with digits or a word | x^2-y^3 will be read as x^2 - y^3, because items are | terminated by almost any nonword/nondigit char. | x_{i^2} or x^(2-i) braces or parenthesis do grouping. |=20 | Still, ambiguity is possible - so when in doubt use {} to enclose the | sub/superscript. If you set this variable to the symbol `{}', | the braces are *required* in order to trigger interpretations as | sub/superscript. This can be helpful in documents that need "_" | frequently in plain text. |=20 | Not all export backends support this, but HTML does. |=20 | This option can also be set with the #+OPTIONS line, e.g. "^:nil". |=20 | You can customize this variable. |=20 | This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in | version 24.1 of Emacs. `---- Cheers, Charles =2D-=20 "All language designers are arrogant.
