Double Subscript for Subsequences

For example I need to specify a term x subscript a subscript b.
For a x subscript a, I can write it as x_{a}. However, x_{a}_{b} is not supported. How do I do that?

If you want to insert more than one character as index, you have to put it inside braces. This rule is for the index as well, I mean, if index has more than one char, use braces again.
$x_{a_b}$ and $x_{a_{bc}}$ (or ${x_a}_b = {x_a}_p$)

I suppose thatx_{a_b}means "the variablex, indexed bya_b", whereas{x_a}_bmeans "the variablex_a, indexed byb". In the former case,bis rendered in script-script style, while in the latter it is rendered in script style (andais rendered in "cramped" script style).
