[Xerte] Superscript support

[Ron Mitchell]

Thanks John that useful to know for future reference. It wasn't something I was specifically looking to use just a question asked during a training session by someone who found the optional property. We obviously had an idea of what it would do but not how. Didn't think to try <sup> or <sub> tags.
Cheers
Ron
