+<h1><font size="-2">Hypertext Help with LaTeX</font><br><font color="#cc0000">Superscripts</font></h1>
+<p>
+ To get an expression, exp, to appear as a superscript, you just type
+ <tt>^{exp}</tt>.<p>
+ Can be used only in <a href="ltx-115.html#math">math</a> mode.
+Thus, for a simple expression that is part of the running text:
+<pre>
+ <tt>x$^3$ is the third power of x</tt>
+</pre>
+should display as "x<sup>3</sup> is the third power of x". Note that
+the braces around the argument may be omitted if the superscript is
+a single character.
+<p>
+If a symbol has both subscripts and superscripts, the order doesn't matter.
+The following are equivalent:<br>
+<pre> <tt>a_n^2</tt> and <tt>a^2_n</tt></pre>
+<p>
+Superscripts may have their own superscripts:
+<pre>
+ <tt>$x^{y^{z}}$</tt>
+</pre>
+should display something like
+<pre>
+ z
+ y
+ x
+</pre>
