Type subscripts into output text dis()

So I am doing a bunch of calculations and when it gets done I would like to print the answer using the num2str command. However, I want to comment on it first and a lot of my variables have subscripts on them and I haven't been able to find a way to successfully at those in.

For example A_n is a variable I have. However, I would like to format it the way that looks neat not sloppy. That being said there has to be a way to do that inside a disp(' ') command.

So far I have tried: disp('a_n')

However, this doesn't work like it does for formatting plot axes.

Any help would be great! I have been looking for an answer for hours!!!

disp() cannot format text. fprintf() and sprintf() cannot format text either. All three of them are restricted to plain text, with a minor exception to produce red (for error messages) and blue (for links)

Answer 2

Since none of those commands can format script, is there one that satisfies the question? I also wish to find something that will format text, while each text is num2str of a calculation, and cannot be done individually.

No, not in the command window -- not unless there happens to be a way to use the kinds of techniques used by the File Exchange contribution cfprint() [which I doubt, because I trust that Yair would already have implemented it if it could be done.]
