Superscript and subscript in HTML?

Superscript and subscript in HTML?

[Peter Davis]

Is there any markup which will let me get superscripts and subscripts in 
HTML export?

It would be great if the HTML exporter recognized ^{...} and _{...} so 
the same markup would work for both LaTeX/PDF and for HTML.

Thanks,
-pd

It does for me. I believe it always has. Are you sure your options are
set correctly? Also, are you sure that the html source doesn't contain
<sup/> and <sub/> tags that aren't being styled?

Here's a example and the output

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
,* Super and subscript
this is a super^{1} script. and a sub_{2} script.

another super^3 and another sub_4
#+END_SRC

and the results (C-c C-e C-b h H)

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
<div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1">Super and subscript</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
this is a super<sup>1</sup> script. and a sub<sub>2</sub> script.
</p>

<p>
another super<sup>3</sup> and another sub<sub>4</sub></p>
</div>
</div>

#+END_EXAMPLE

Here's what I get for the body, using your example:

+==========
<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-org"><span style="color: #b22222;">#+OPTIONS: toc:nil</span>
<span style="color: #0000ff;">* Super and subscript</span>
this is a super^{1} script. and a sub_{2} script.

another super^3 and another sub_4
</pre>
</div>
+==========

Leaving out the #+BEGIN_SRC/#+END_SRC doesn't work either. This is with emacs 24.3.3, org-mode 8.2.5g

Thanks,

The begin/end src lines are just that, markers to show where the org
source starts and end. What you have formatted is a source code
listing, not the source code.

1. Create a new org mode buffer.
2. Copy the contents WITHIN the begin/end src block to the buffer.
3. Remove the leading commas (,).
4. With your cursor on the #+OPTION line type [C-c C-c].
5. Generate the html output.

If it still doesn't work edit the file with:

emacs -Q -L<path to org 8.2.5g> mytest.org

and try again.

If you're giving an example of org buffer contents, #+BEGIN_SRC and #+END_SRC are probably not the best delimiters to use to set off your
example, since they're valid org markup.

Anyway, it turns out some options I had enabled were preventing the superscript/subscript markup from being recognized. I had this

#+OPTIONS:   H:5 \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:nil -:t f:t *:t <:t

at the top of the buffer. Removing that line seems to get me proper HTML markup.

Thanks!

It does - this works fine for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo

This is a super^{script} and this is a sub_{script}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does that not work for you? If so, check for "#+OPTIONS: ^:nil" settings
perhaps.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
^^^

Is the common method on this list for specifying org (or any other)
source code in an email. Org can embed org source in org.

You are explicitly disabling super/subscripts. It would be the same
for latex output.
