Report Generator - Writing subscripts within text

I'm using the report generator and would like to include a variable letter with a subscript, for instance Q_turbine. Is there any way to get the report generator to write the subscript within a text. I know how to the the LaTeX commands to add subscripts to an axis label, but I'm not sure how this would work for plain text.

Which Report Generator element do you want to contain the subscript?
I am looking for either the text or paragraph component.

This is what you get

The text component just reads this as text. It reads the line literally.
Which version do you have?
I hasve 2007b with RG 3.2.1.
Unfortunately you cannot embed latex equations with that version: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-6CKOEZ/index.html?product=MR&solution=1-6CKOEZ
A workaround is suggested in the technical solution above.
I am using that work around to produce any of my equations. What I have is a text discussion that includes a name of a variable that has a subscript.
Does 2010b solve this issue?
Yes but the quality of latex equations is poor.
So, I could use '%% $$ Q_{turbine} $$ in Matlab 2010b and this would work? I understand the issue with the LaTeX equations being poor. At least there is that work around.
I think I understand the confusion. I'm using the Report Generator toolbox, not the publish command. Your solution works for the M-file publishing, but not the text component in the Report Generator.
Sorry, didn't get it! Never used report generator, can't be of any help.

Not sure if this meets your needs, but it seems like you could write HTML formatted text in a separate file and then include it using the "File" component.
In case you don't know, the < sub > tag is used for subscript in HTML:
This is a subscript: Qturbine
