To type "- 2" as a superscript in Webflow and prevent it from being automatically turned into "￪", you can use the following workarounds:
- Markdown Formatting: You can use the markdown formatting to display text as superscript. Here's how to do it:
- Type your text normally, for example: "2".
- Surround the text with caret (^) symbols: "^2^".
- Apply the "markdown" class to the text element.
- Webflow will automatically render the text as superscript.
- Custom Code: Another way to display text as superscript is by using custom code. Here's how to do it:
- Insert an HTML embed element where you want the superscript to appear.
- Inside the HTML embed element, use the
<sup>element to wrap the text you want to make superscript, for example:<sup>2</sup>. - Style the
<sup>element using CSS to adjust its size, positioning, and other properties if needed.
Preventing Webflow from automatically turning "^-" into "￪" requires a slightly different approach:
- Custom Code with Escape Character: Webflow has a built-in behavior that converts caret symbols followed by a dash into a superscript. To prevent this from happening, you can use an escape character. Here's how to do it:
- Type your text normally, for example: "- 2".
- Add an escape character (backslash) before the caret, like this: "^".
- Apply the "markdown" class to the text element.
- Webflow will render the text as "- 2" without converting the caret into superscript.
By following these workarounds, you can display text as superscript and prevent Webflow from automatically changing certain characters into superscript.
