There are several questions regarding subscripts on Stack Exchange, but I did not find an answer to my specific problem.
I want to write something about P_1 ... P_n and then about R_en-1 ... R_en-q.
1-q is a range of numbers that are specific for English (en is a shorthand for English). So "1" and "q" are supposed to look like the "1" and "n" that are used in P_1 and P_n. The "-" in "en-1" should not be a minus sign.
I tried the following (with textit and without):
UG = P$_1$ $\wedge$ P$_2$ $\wedge$ \ldots{} $\wedge$ P$_n$ $\wedge$
R$_{\textit{en-1}}$ $\vee$ \ldots{} $\vee$ R$_{\textit{en-q}}$
But I get either a minus sign and too much space around the "-" or a different font for the numbers.
How is this done properly?
One comment pointed me to the question about dashes and this helped. I put the "-" in an \mbox
.
UG = P$_1$ $\wedge$ P$_2$ $\wedge$ \ldots{} $\wedge$ P$_n$ $\wedge$
(R$_{en\mbox{-}1}$ $\vee$ \ldots{} $\vee$ R$_{en\mbox{-}q}$
But it is not perfect, the dash seems to be too high:
Is there a way to fix that?
