"Could you Nilly that for me?"

I like the phrase, but it doesn't really make sense after the mathy 17 expression. I mean, could you Nilly what for me? The "mathier" line fits better.

Does the t sup tag work? Because I was leaning towards 42-

t edit I guess not.... I was trying to write 4 squared - e to the ip. Oh well....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

But I was kind of leaning toward "Could you Nilly that for me?"

We do already have a thread that refers to that, though - Nillytown.

Does the <sup> tag work?

Hee, apparently not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hee, apparently not.

Don't suppose there's any chance of it being enabled either in time for Natter 17, or just for the purpose of creating the Natter 17 title?

It might work in titles.

eta: I tested it. We can use superscripts in titles and slugs.

Interesting. I wonder if thread titles and slugs go through the tag stripping function? Maybe we can use any tags in those fields?

Great. In that case, it should assuredly be used here.

I'm guessing not.

I just tried it on an old closed thread. Although it works, it looks ugly. Many browsers underline anything that's a link. The underline under a superscript shows up immediately under the character, which is in line with the minus sign to its right. It's difficult to explain, but I think it's really ugly and using ^2 is actually more pleasant to look at.

Didn't think of that. I turn off link underlining because it *is* ugly, so it never occurred to me.
