No superscript on iPad since iOS8

buecherhans · 09-21-2014, 07:19 AM

I read and create many technical and reference books that are full of endnotes as superscripts in the text body with active links and back links to the actual note.

Since I updated my iPad Air to iOS8 superscripts appear as baseline text. The issue is in purchased commercial and my selfmade books, like iBooks on iOS8 does not recognize <sup>text</sup>. The superscripts are displayed correctly on iBooks for Mac.

Did anybody experience the same problem?

No idea, why don't you try Marvin instead of iBooks?

Marvin is acting a little wonky on iOS 8 too.

What is up with Marvin on iOS 8? I suggest you report this so the problems can be fixed.

Does adding

PHP Code:


			
sup {
    font-size: 50%;
    vertical-align: text-top;
}

make any difference?

Tell the developer and you will get a fix quickly.

I installed iOS 8.1 on my iPad Air today and this Apple update also fixed the superscript/subscript problem of the earlier version of iBooks.

Thanks for your responses.

@BenG - Marvin got its 2nd iOS 8 update and larger iPhone support last week. If you're still having trouble feel free to get in touch and I'll try and help you out.
