No custom html code will work ever if you keep the wysiwyg animal turned on. Turn it off for good (in your user profile).

I’ve only been using WordPress for a day, and I already hate that wysiwyg editor. ??

Thank you!

You need to style your CSS to show the sup/sub…try this in your CSS:

sub {vertical-align: sub; }
sup {vertical-align: sup; }

No, you don’t.
You can, but you don’t need to.

Actually, I just tried this, and it still doesn’t work. I also added to my CSS like peiqinglong suggested, and still nothing. Anything wrapped in <sup> tags just ends up in normal script. The html still shows the <sup> tags after I save, but they just don’t do anything.

It works on my blog. No CSS, just plain old HTML tag <sup> around my footnote numbers…

It’s the theme I’m using (Librio). I just loaded another theme, and the <sup>’s work.

I really like this theme, though. If the theme causes this somehow, do you have any idea where I could look to fix it?

Check its stylesheet… sometimes theme authors add really weird things to it (like 0 margins for all paragraphs, ending up with no breaks in text; defining <em> as bold and other such idiotic things).

Minutes later:

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	border: 0;
	outline: 0;
	font-size: 100%;
	vertical-align: baseline;
	background: transparent;
}

Quod erat demonstrandum…

Indeed.

Just fixed it. Thanks!

That’s why I usually add the sup/sup in my stylesheet, I’m one of those idiots that does the global reset. ??
