> Hi Idris, > > please read this: https://www.w3.org/TR/unicode-xml/#Superscripts Many thanks. The issue is clearer now, e.g., ======= When used in mathematical context (MathML) it is recommended to consistently use style markup for superscripts and subscripts. This is because mathematical layout allows not just individual symbols, but entire expressions to be superscripted or subscripted in a regular, nested manner. ======= Of course, consistent use of style markup means that we can't naively extract superscript text from the pdf, e.g., \CATCA becomes ๐nt. OTOH, issues 4.i and 4.ii below are still perplexing. Are there any workarounds? Thanks again.
