I am not entirely sure though if I do understand Bastien's code well enough. Please test and report back. One addition I have made: If the sub/superscript is a single char, it it typeset in the normal math italic. If it is longer, it is typeset in roman. If someone needs an explanation for this convention, ask, and I will explain. - Carsten On Oct 17, 2008, at 3:22 PM, Sullivan, Gregory (US SSA) wrote: > As far as: > > Ideally, it should be > \item This is a $\mbox{super}^{\mbox{\scriptsize{s}}}$cript > but I'd settle for this > \item This is a $super^{s}cript$ > > I agree that it should be the first (using mbox).
