Sub-subscripts in strings cause different spacings than subscripts

$begingroup$


Spacing around subscripts within strings seems to work well:

But the spacing around sub-subscripts does not:



enter image description here



I did not manually add that space after the 2. How can this be fixed? Thanks!

          The subscript is interpreted as Times[Subscript[H, 2], O], and Mathematica uses spaces to denote multiplication. You can work around this by using the ZeroWidthTimes option:

            I appreciate this workaround. Unfortunately, this is one example of several where strings are getting parsed when I don't want them to. I learned (from you) that I could stop different coloration by using ShowAutoStyles->False. Here I learn that I can fix misdisplayed strings with ZeroWidthTimes->True. This is feeling like whack-a-mole. I keep finding places where my notation (Chemistry-specific) runs counter to Mathematica assumptions, and so I have to tell Mathematica to handle each differently, when what I would really like is to tell Mathematica to simply not parse strings. Period.

            @KevinAusman The problem is that using subscripts inside of a string creates linear syntax, which is essentially the boxes of an expression. It is not a simple string.

            Fair enough. I guess I just don't see why a RowBox assumes that sequential boxes are multiplications. It makes sense to assume that if we have an expression, but not if it's in a string.

          Olav Thon Fødd 29. juni 1923 Ål Yrke forretningsdrivande Olav Thon på Commons Olav Thon (fødd 29. juni 1923) er ein norsk, stort sett sjølvlært forretningsmann, fødd i Ål i Hallingdal, som har gjort store pengar på særleg kjøp, bygging og utvikling av fast eigedom, mellom anna kjøpesentre, hotell og restaurantar, i både Noreg og somme andre land. Han vart Ridder av 1. klasse av St. Olavs Orden i 2003, og er som ivrig friluftsmann æresmedlem i Den Norske Turistforening etter å ha ytt store økonomiske bidrag til foreininga sine hytter og ruter i fjellet. Han er kjend for alltid å gå med ei karakteristisk strikkelue. Olav Thon i samtale med Trond Helleland på sentralbanksjefens årstale i februar 2016 I ung alder reiste Olav Thon til Newcastle for å lære seg engelsk, og han var seinare ei tid i Sveits, der han gjorde forretningar i import og eksport. Deretter tok han til å kjøpe faste eigedomar i Noreg med stor økonomisk suksess, verksemda voks snøgt og v...

Opninga inn mot nedre nasegang er delvis tildekt av ei ufullstendig slimhinnefold kalla Hasners ventil. Overflødige tårer strøymer gjennom tårekanalen og trekker inn i nedre nasegang. Dette er grunnen til at ein kan få rennande nase når ein gret, og at ein somme gonger kan kjenne saltsmaken av tårer i munnen. Både tårekanalen og tåresekken er tekt med fleirlaga sylinderepitel som inneheld slimproduserande begerceller, og er begge omgjevne av bindevev. Dakryostenose (tårekanalstenose) er ei innsnevring av tårekanalen som fører til epifora, ei overflod av tårer. Medfødd dakryostenose kan føra til cystisk utviding av tårekanalen ved at det dannast ein dakryocystocele. Personar m...
