Dear all and especially proz staff,

ceterum censeo: I think we really do need some sub- and superscript formatting in the Kudoz section, because a good translation will show these things correctly, and many a question would be a lot clearer if the asker had a way to present it correctly. The lack of this option is very annoying, in my opinion.

How? Feb 8, 2016

How did you do that? I know there are special characters for square and cubic, but 1? Can you do a subscript alphanumeric character, too? And will it work in the Kudoz section?

I am experimenting with copy/pasting stuff over from various sources. MS Word and Wikipedia so far. Feb 8, 2016

I see Feb 8, 2016

I see. That's not going to work in a Kudoz answer, if I'm not mistaken. Text pasted there will always be plain text.

Yes, if I remember correctly, both the Answer and the Reference comment fields do not support very much in the way of formatting. This is why I often put things in the Discussion entries, where you can at least use bold and italics.

I agree though, especially on a website for language professionals, we should have much better support for things like this.

A common affliction Feb 8, 2016

I also miss being able to use bold and italics in kudoz. I mostly just have to hope that people intuitively understand when I'm being tongue in cheek on making some obscure cultural reference...
