subscripts ? #36

Closed jhwright closed 10 years ago

jhwright commented 10 years ago

thanks for excellent plugin!

i'm wondering whether it's worth investigating including basic support for subscripts and superscripts? i know the html tags for these are

A my subscript.

it'd be nice to be able to do it (modified) LaTeX style.

_Amy subscript_. or _A{my subscript}

as a newbie to markdown (and github overall!), i'm sure there are good reasons NOT to do this, but i thought i'd throw it out there anyway...

thanks for your great work!

Hi @jhwright ,

You're welcome :) - I'm glad you like it.

The plug-in just implements the markdown syntax and I'm wary about adding anything that deviates from it - as then it's no longer markdown...

So I'm afraid I won't be implementing this feature. You can of course mix HTML with markdown, and the HTML is quite simple for this

<sup>superscript</sup>
