@RbnJrg --

It seems that you didn't watch my epub Superscripts and underscripts are not problems any more in ADE with the following styles:

No, I really did review the epub you put together to explain (and thanks again). Still looking through it to see what else I can learn.

DaleDe suggested trying line-spacing = 0 and that didn't seem to help doing just that

I'm still working through your sample, but so far I think that the classes for sup and sub work best for inline text, and the font superscript and subscript characters for the hopefully few instances where there's a square root sign. For those the font characters looks much better.

The letter-spacing was a great tip (as I said in #7) and fixes the 'too close' characters. I might do that everywhere since it seems to improve readability.

The text-decoration: overline; was also new to me, and combining with the radical sign does make it look much nicer.

I'll add some new clips for these, but I wonder if there's a way to allow the user to select their own glyphs for [Insert Symbol]?? That would make it more convienent.

So here's where I am for now, thanks to your and Jellby and DaleDe's suggestions

p {
  font-size: 1em;
  text-align: left;
  margin: 0 0 0.25em;
  text-indent: 0;
}

.indent {
  text-indent: 2em;
}

.overline {
  text-decoration: overline;
}

.underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

.jump {
  margin-bottom: 2em;
}

.ls {
  letter-spacing: 0.2em;
}

sup {
	line-height: 0;
	vertical-align: super;
   font-size: 60%;
}

sub {
	line-height: 0;
	vertical-align: sub;
    font-size: 60%;
}

So here's the current version in ADE. There's no line spacing changes caused by tghe sub/super scripts (a good thing), the sub/super scripts are readable, the square root looks nice. Only small thing is the line break between the a and the superscript 2 towards the end. I checked and there is no space between.


All I can say is that I'm glad I don't do this for a living. This whole project started out as doing a favor for my brother, and I wanted to make it look as nice as I could (easily )
