Encoding Instructions (new P5 version)
The sup keyword is used to indicate superscripted letters. Technically it is designed to take a value which is a measurement (in points or some other unit) of the distance above the baseline, but the WWP does not use this feature. The value should remain blank, indicating simply that the letter(s) in question are superscripted.
The sub keyword works exactly like the sup keyword, but indicates that the letters are subscripted.
Examples
Example 1. <persName>M<hi rend="sup()">r</hi> Rogers<persName>
