Is there any package that fixes the height of tensor indices?



For example, I'd like to horizontally align indices in the following expression representing antisymmetrization of a and b,



documentclassarticle
linespread1.5selectfont
begindocument
$e_i^[aq^b]c$
enddocument


Is there any universal method not forcing me to use phantom in each expression, like here?



documentclassarticle
linespread1.5selectfont
begindocument
$e_i^[aq^b]c_phantomd$
enddocument

  • @campa I've already provided a better solution above. I'm asking for a package that is positioning all the indices in all the expressions at once.

You could either put a mathstrut (a box with the height of the ( symbol) into the subscript of q



documentclassarticle
linespread1.5selectfont
begindocument
$e_i^[aq_mathstrut^b]c$
enddocument


enter image description here



or you could adjust the superscript raise and subscript drop document wide



documentclassarticle
