Superscript before character

Superscript before character

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I'd like to create a superscript that preceeds a letter.  I tried 
^1Fred, ^1 Fred, ^{1}Fred and ^{1} Fred, to no avail.

Can this be done in org (8.0.3)?  If so how?

Thanks,
Roger

[snip]

\nbsp{}^{1}Fred

exports to ~$^{\text{1}}$Fred in latex and &nbsp;<sup>1</sup>Fred in html

yes, that helps - it works perfectly.

Many thanks,

Yes, nice.  I also need this often.  You can also write \nbsp^{1}Fred, a bit more compact.  I am wondering if we could come up with something even more compact though.  I often have to write names of isotopes, for example
\nbsp^{13}CO, and I do find that cumbersome.

I don't use prescripts, but perhaps a macro could be used?

#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{mhchem}
#+MACRO: ce $\ce{$1}$
 {{{ce(^{227}_{90}Th+)}}} *bold*
#+END_SRC

Further flexibility is probably possible using ob-latex.

Yes, this will do the trick for LaTeX, but {{{...}}} is still not pretty.
Yes, maybe I should think more about the cechem package - did not know it, and it looks good.
Thanks!

{{{·}}} looks terrible but it's pretty quick to type. . .  Perhaps we
could fontify them like with URLs.

For more flexibility you could use a URL-like syntax which could then
export conditional on the output format,

(org-add-link-type "ce" nil
 (lambda (path desc format) 
  (cond ((eq format 'latex)
      (format "\ce{%s}" desc))
      ((eq format 'html)
        (format "\\nbsp%s" desc)))))

or something like  that . . .

Another good idea - I'll try this.
