Easy way to use superscripts for footnotes within a post?

    Hi, I use lots of footnotes in my posts, which I indicate with asterisks. I would like to figure out a way to make a number into a superscript. I researched it and enabled Markdown, but I’m still not able to make this work. Is there an easy way to make a number into a superscript? I’m hoping I don’t need to use Markdown to do that. Thanks! — Ann

    To simply add superscript, you can use the <sup> html tag.

    You’ll need to switch to the Text Editor view and add the code as such:

    Here is the text that will need a footnote.<sup>1</sup>

    Related, you can use <sub> for subscript. H<sub>2</sub>O is chemistry. X + X<sup>2</sup> is math.

    Markdown can be nice since it can automate the process a bit, but if you don’t already use it or plan on using it for all of your formatting, it can be a bit overkill to use/learn!

    Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.

    Cheers!
