Is it possible to create subscript typesetting?

Question

I'd like to add LaTeX-like subscripts to sequence diagrams like $x_n$ and $x_{n + 1}$. Is this possible?

Hello A.,

Yes you can, with <math> or <latex> as:

@startuml
Alice -> Bob : <math>x_n</math>
Alice -> Bob : <math>x_{n + 1}</math>

See documentation here:

And without math or latex, you can just use:

@startuml
Alice -> Bob : x<sub>n</sub>
Alice -> Bob : x<sub>n + 1</sub>
