Is there a superscript markup for items, or is this only available in the html editor?

Comments

I dont think so - see IQ version below (I think you're using an older one but there hasnt been any changes that way in a while)

If I select text while editing, the only way I can see to format it is via formatting toolbar or shortcuts.

Under customise shortcuts, there's the usual underline / bold / italic/ and strikethrough but that's it.

<s>test</s> gives me strikethrough -

I wonder would manually adding tags works for sub/superscript? (I dont know what tags do that though...)

For reference, the doc is at Embedded Formatting. Also, I find it sometimes useful to look at the underlying component's site also. Those are documented in -- link to nonexistent node ID 1752 --.

The grid does not currently support super/sub scripts. The manufacurer was contacted and a request was made.

HTH !

Mille fois merci, P!

Supercripts and subscripts tags are showing up in other components of the grid manufacturer... I guess that's a good sign that it should be available soon...

Back at Infoqube after a long hiatus, and immediately found myself wanting to use superscript. HTML tags <sup>, </sup> don't work, so I assume this isn't an option yet?

Thanks.

Welcome Back !

Use the popup editor to enter sub/super scripts. See 3. Popup Editor

Thanks, Pierre. Would you actually be able to walk me through that process? I'm just not sure how to format superscript once I'm in the editor.

I'm figuring this out for myself right now. This is what I came up with (others are welcome to correct my attempt, as needed):

1) Type superscript/subscript where you want it.

2) Open popup editor: Shift>F2

3) Select super/subscript

4) Right-click to open dialogue

4a) For some reason it only opens if you move the cursor off the selection. The selection appears to go away but if you

go ahead with the following steps, it works correctly.

4b) Dialogue will open where you right-click within the dialogue box, so position your click where dialogue

won't cover up your selection (so you can see what's happening as you make changes)

5) Select "Offset" (grayed out text at top left of icons)

6) Use up/down to move super/subscript.

6a) Up arrow moves it down (counterintuitive)

6b) There's no option for amount of movement

7) Select "Size" next to "Offset". Change super/subscript size as needed (many settings possible)

7a) If you leave super/subscript normal size, the line will be offset downward to make room, creating

a noticeably larger space between lines. Reducing the sup/sub size reduces this space.

Note: it's not necessary to have WYSIWYG editor activated for the above procedure to work (Column>Use WYSIWYG)

Bonus tip: once you've created a super/subscript, you can copy/paste elsewhere, then edit the text. This might be easier than going thru the above

procedure each time.

That worked! Thanks, Wayne. I didn't realize those grayed-out options were available.

You're welcome. Yeah, the gray-out is confusing.

Wayne

I'm probably stating the obvious but if you have a keyboard macro program (eg Autohotkey) you can automate the procedure for inserting a super/subscript. All you have to do after that is manually change the text (eg footnote number). I've set my up to activate when I type "fff".

Hi !

In v107:

New: Grid: Format toolbar now has commands for superscript / subscripts (works for both the plain text and WYSIWYG editors)
New: Grid: Editor now supports sup and sub tags (for superscript / subscript)

HTH !

That's great, Pierre. Thanks!
