I would go with David Dorwood’s suggestion, this seems the most logical. I
would try and avoid the sup tags, as these are for superscript, which is
really presentational and should be handled by CSS if this is the style
that is required.

In what way is sup more presentational than p?

RE: [WSG] which tag to use for link to reference?

2012-07-02 Thread Dan Freeman
The sup tag is definitely not presentational.  It's good for the browser
to know what is superscripted.  Think about math and powers.

 

The browser will interpret these two things totally differently:

 

104

10sup4/sup (correct)

10span4/span (browser will think it's 104 instead of 104)

10span4/span (browser will think it’s 104 instead of 10^4 )



Arguably the semantics of mathematics are best conveyed with something 
like MathML, not HTML. sup really just means it's superscript - make 
it look tinier, and up a bit. Compare the semantics of


10sup4/sup vs 1supst/sup vs Msuplle/sup

clearly, not related at all, apart from the fact that they visually look 
the same in print. The meaning (it's a mathematical exponent vs an 
ordinal indicator vs an abbreviation for Mademoiselle) changes depending 
on context, so the semantics are certainly far from cut and dry.


IMHO of course,

In scholarly paper and report, we often use number (e.g.. 1, 2. 3,  displays in 
sup) in between paragraphs when referencing others' work. What is the name of 
the tag used in such manner in HTML or ebook format?

The microformats community lists a rel=footnote under 'POSH usage' 
on their rel values reference:
