Question

Subscripts and superscripts

I am creating help in WebHelp format using RoboHelp for Word (don't ask why - it's too late in the project to change now). Subscripts and superscripts were working until a couple of weeks ago, even if the output was ugly because the line spacing adjusted itself automatically. Now they have stopped working and appear just as normal text. It's a disaster when scientific notation for a million comes out as 106!

Anybody have any idea what might have happened? And how I can get my subscripts and superscripts back?

Answered my own question.
Robohelp recognizes Word superscript and subscript (but ignores the font size) for Webhelp output. It does not however recognize the character spacing raised/lowered property. So you cannot influence the appearance (size or position) of superscripts and subscripts in the output.

frma -

You could always adjust it, post-production. I would look at the generated markup, and remove or add whatever is necessary.

Thanks for the tip, Roger, but I have rather too many instances to fix them by hand.
Superscript output is tagged in the generated markup with <FONT style="vertical-align:super; " >. Changing the "super;" to a value of 5 improves the appearance greatly - is there any way to change Robohelp's html-generation so that this is done automatically?
