Use the <sup> and <sub> tags

^{Such as this one (this uses sup)}

And

_{Such as this one (this uses sub)}

Note on the code for the 2nd one

<sub>Such as this one (this uses sub)</sub>

Maybe "abuse" is a better description than "use". – Arjan Jan 23 '11 at 11:49

@arjan There are some fairly decent uses of it as has been discussed here before – RichardTheKiwi Jan 23 '11 at 11:55

Even in your comment "abuses" would be suitable I'm afraid. (But indeed, I abuse it myself too often too!) – Arjan Jan 23 '11 at 11:56
@Arjan, "retrofit" would be a better word. – Pacerier May 12 '14 at 8:41
