Italicize and superscript help

You should use HTML formating.  HTML uses tags that come in pairs.  A start tag and a end tag.  For example to italicize a phrase using HTML you would put the following tag at the start of the word or phrase you want to be in italic <i> and put the ending tag at the end of the word or phrase </i> to stop the italics

Example: Colaptes auratus would need the following markup: <i> Colaptes auratus </i> to result in  Colaptes auratus

For a superscript just put a start tag of ^{at the front, followed by the number and end it with}

Example:  Hews¹ results in Hews1

Remember they always come in paris, one to start <i> and one to end </i> or ^and
