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?
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

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

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Can you use numeric entities? If so, then ² is superscript-2, and Π is pi.
Mmmm, pi.

Test:
Natter 17 = 4² - cos(p); This Could Be Mathier
The superscript works for me, though I find the resulting pi a little anaemic. Using the Symbol font (as above) gives a more attractive result, IMO.

The symbol doesn't show up on my computer.
