  • Excellent addition to Gutemberg!

    Gutenberg doesn't allow me to add <sup> & </sup> even in the code editor but this plugin fills this surprising omission. Thanks!

  • Most of the interface cannot be translated

    Despite being the leading plugin for adding Subscript and Superscript to the Gutenberg editor, most of its UI has not be coded in a way to allow translation. A fix has been sent by a member of the community more than a year ago, unfortunately it has not been included by the developer. As it is, this plugin is only of interest to english speaking users.
