Suggestion: display of superscripts/subscripts

[perrogg]

Texstudio is wonderful and I always use it to deal with .tex files.

Can superscripts/subscripts be displayed in TeXstudio as in Emacs+AucTeX (see picture) ? I think it's clear, but I don't know if it is difficult to achieve.

This is non trivial. One would have to:

• parse the formulas to identify the sub/superscripts.
• adapt the line drawing mechanism to be able to vertically offset parts of the line.
• adapt the editor rendering to support lines with variable line height.

None of which is possible is available in the current code.

I propose to use the inline rendering of formulas instead (Preview Selection / Parentheses (Alt+P). This also gives you a readable formula.

I don't see the point either.
Super-/subscript are hard to implement.
