How to make a subscript of a subscript in matplotlib?

Question

I know how to insert a subscript in a matplotlib plot using the following expression:

r'$P1_{ti-1}$'

However I would like to do a subscript of a subscript, something like:

r'$P1_{t}_{i-1}$'

where t is a subscript of P1 and i-1 is a subscript of t bt I cannot find any working example.

Thank you.

It is possible depending on how you nest your curly braces.

See the example below:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
plt.plot([1,2,3,],[1,2,3])
plt.text(s=r'$P1_{t_{i-1}}$',x=2, y=1.5, size=20)
plt.show()
