Superscript in titles
 

I'm working on a book with many superscripts in the titles. If I create the code as follows

<h3>TITLE^{<a href="#sdfootnote24sym" id="sdfootnote24anc">24</a>}</h3>

the book view looks perfecly but the TOC shows: TITLE24

If I change the code to

<h3>TITLE</h3> ^{<a href="#sdfootnote24sym" id="sdfootnote24anc">24</a>}

the TOC is perfect, but the book view looks stupid (superscript on next line).

Does anyone has a suggestion?

Thanks!

I don't think you'll ever be able to get text display as superscript in the TOC. Not because of Sigil, but because I doubt you can express a superscript in the NCX file. The NCX doctype is, well, "ncx". It's not HTML. I doubt there's a "<sup>" tag (I could be wrong).

What I would do is this:
That is, display the superscript correctly in the book, but use the common "^" notation for the TOC. The "title" attribute overrides the content of the element for the TOC generation.

Yeees! That's the trick I was looking for. Thanks very much, Valloric!

If the NCX allows unicode, then you could fake it by using superscript characters directly:

m a r

Damn good idea. An NCX is still an XML file, and thus uses Unicode. And since Sigil is fully Unicode aware and exports everything as UTF-8, you can use this:
But there's a good chance a Reading System will screw up the rendering. Try it in ADE first.

But if the "24" is just a note call, I don't think anyone would want it showing in the TOC.

And using Unicode is not always a solution. It does not work if you have "M^lle" or "3.^er" in your titles (although in these cases, rendering the superscripts as normal text is an acceptable solution).
