I don't know of any way of doing it automatically - I always end
up doing it by hand, either by using super/subscript or by
spacing it out with paragraphs. The subscript method is more
general and will work in all cases, the second method does not
always work. The main problem with subscripting is that you have
to experiment a lot to get the spacing right, but the results
look OK.
