…and “wrap it in a [span] with a meaningful class name”.

Mario, perhaps you can edit the original comment, and discard these followups?

Oh, holy hell. “The [sup] and [sub] tags”.

…that should read “the and tags should be avoided”.

Michael is right.

Also, the and tags should be avoided. They aren’t formally deprecated, but they should be – they describe presentation, not semantics.

CSS is for presentation. HTML is for semantics.

If you need superscripted text, wrap it in a with a meaningful class name, and set “vertical-align: super;” in your CSS file.
