<sup>
The <sup> element marks superscript text — typographically raised above the baseline. Use for exponents and ordinal indicators (note: for footnote references use <noteRef> instead).
Notes
- For chemical formulas with complex notation (charges, isotopes, full equations), use
<m:math>or<formula>instead. - For footnote references in running text, use
<noteRef>rather than a<sup>wrapping a number.
