Hi

Looking after this archeological and nice post, I feel eleven years younger.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=70

What I find interesting, is that the sup tag here uses three attributes (the values of which are moreless a matter of taste) and the three of them concur nicely to provide a stable display for the superscript text. That was also my major point (nothing new).
- vertical-align (I've chosen text-top)
- font-size (I've chosen smaller)
- line-height (I've chosen 1)

Now a note on note anchors (no more superscript only).

As many still use brackets (I understand there is a need to enlarge the clicking surface, but I can't help thinking it looks artificial and it should not be a long term solution), these users have to take into account the sheer height of a bracket versus a plain digit or a lowcase letter.

It must have an unfavourable impact over the vertical positioning of the note anchor. It would seem logical to replace the bracket by a dash so as not to perturb it but this would have to face established usage... Well...
