Index Superscripts Affinitiy Publisher

[thetasig]

AFPUB 1.8.3, Mac 10.15.3.

I have a number of ordinals in my document that are indexed. An example is "18th Birthday", where the "th" is a superscript. In this case, the quoted words are also indexed.

I don't know if this is by design, but the index text drops the superscript down to the default baseline (as seen here in this topic). I would have expected the index to respect the superscript and have that properly shown. I'd appreciate some clarification. Thanks.

When you insert an index mark, there's a dialog where you provide information (topic name, parent topic, etc.) as shown below.

The box for the topic name is plain text, without any kind of formatting or typography or positioning information. Just plain simple text without super- or subscripts, italic, bold, etc.
