[edit] Example: Using sub and sup methods to format a string

The following example uses the sub and sup methods to format a string:

var superText="superscript"
var subText="subscript"

document.write("This is what a " + superText.sup() + " looks like.")
document.write("<P>This is what a " + subText.sub() + " looks like.")

<P>This is what a <SUB>subscript</SUB> looks like.
