[What were you doing when the problem occurred?]

I generated an overlapping cloze with chemical formulas which contained subscripts

Expected behavior: subscripts should be rendered

Actual behavior: subscripts are on their own lines

Hey Shawn,

Thanks for the exemplary bug report!

Sadly support for subscripts and other HTML tags has been rather limited from the beginning. Although this isn't a definitive solution, one thing you could do for the time being is to manually cloze each line yourself (using Ctrl+Shift+C). This should work regardless of the HTML formatting present.

The proper solution of course would be for the add-on to more intelligently tell line-breaks apart from other types of HTML tags. However, because the question what does and doesn't constitute a line-break can be quite complex in HTML, this is not a trivial problem to solve.

Still, I'll make sure to give this another look before the v0.4.0 release!

Please feel free to track the progress of this in #5 (the issue described is not the exact same, but since both stem from the same root cause I will be closing this in favor of the older bug report).
