w3m.el no superscript

w3m.el no superscript

[Sebastian Meisel]

Hi,

I'm having a little problem with emacs-w3m: When I want to display a 
page with <SUP> ... </SUP> tags, these parts are
not displayed with superscript face but with a '^' before, which 
sometimes make reading really hard.

<SUP>a</SUP>test

results in '^atest'.

What is to do?

That's what the external w3m command does:

$ echo '<SUP>a</SUP>test' | w3m -halfdump -T text/html
^atest
<internal>
</internal>

The external w3m command has its own rule to interpret not only
<SUP> but also other tags.  Some are converted into others and
some are ignored.  For instance:

$ echo '<strong>a</strong>' | w3m -halfdump -T text/html
<b>a</b>
<internal>
</internal>

And then emacs-w3m processes and displays those outputs.

So, if you want w3m to work with the <SUP> tag in some way for
example, please contact the w3m team[1].  The emacs-w3m team[2]
will follow w3m changes soon.
