[Xerte] Superscript support

[John Horton]

Use them as if they are the HTML tags (e.g. close with </sub>), but they
don't work on any other sort of page and they can't be expected to be as
robust as the real thing.

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
