Adding superscript and subscript options in forum posts

I think it would be a good idea to have ‘superscript’ and ‘subscript’ options along with the big and small text options on a forum post.

We'll be able to type things like dates, mathematical formulas, or just small things but different to this.

It would make my signature nicer, too.

Vote support?

Superscript is workaroundable with that, but certainly is annoying. Support for both for the reasons in OP. I don't have much to say.

Full support.
If you try to work-around using small text on the line above or below, the formatting can easily get messed up, especially when quoted or viewed on mobile devices or different sized monitors.

Since Scratch is for programming, superscripts or subscripts would be useful for explaining code - for example “x^2” isn't as easily readable as a superscript.


Check out Life Raft Survival, my new advanced sandbox survival game with crafting, building, transportation, weather events, tropical storms, and more!

In the game you're stranded at sea after a mysterious crash and must survive in an unforgiving tropical island environment collecting resources and crafting, in an attempt to finally be rescued.

Huh? We don't need to use the small text on the line above or below. We can ᵘˢᵉ ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳᶦᵖᵗ ᵉᵃˢᶦˡʸ and also ₛᵤbₛcᵣᵢₚₜ, bᵤₜ ᵢₜ'ₛ fₐᵣ gₗᵢₜcₕᵢₑᵣ.

You can do x².

It doesn't really take that long, just takes a few minutes.

A few minutes of delay could mean being ninja'd.

@OP: Support, it would be very useful.

What does being ninja'd have to do with this?
