Superscripted Copyrights in HTML/CSS

richmc · Oct 10, 2002

I'm having problems putting legible superscripted copyrights and registered trademark symbols into a body of text without causing unsightly additional whitespace between the line the symbol is on and ther line above.

Does anyone now how I can achieve this in an attractive format?

The options seem to be to shrink the symbol to a tiny size where it becomes a mess and you cannot see what it is, or putting up with a big gap in the text.

Hi,

Try it with &#169;

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>


trade 
trade&#169; 
normal text 
trade&#174; 
20st 


</body>
</html>

Yeah but look at this in IE5.5+

<html>
<head>
<style>
p {font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;}
</style>
</head>
<body>

The symbols are tiny little things...barely able to see what they are - and unfortunately we can't really change text size as the site is huge and established.

Also in N4.5 the symbols whilst visible are causing additional whitespace.
