Hi Chris,
The reason I'm using a closing tag at the beginning and an opening tag
at the end is because the entire result is going to be put in small
caps. The last line of the rule is still the same as in your original
post:
return '<smallcap>'+SupVariable+'</smallcap>';
So, what the replacement is doing is turning off the small cap style
that's already in effect, outputting some superscript, and then turning
the small caps back on. If you look at the entire string that gets
returned from the rule (using the Validate button), you can see that
everything is properly nested with opening and closing tags.
As for the numbers being inconsistent in the small caps style, that
might be a different (although possibly related) bug. To be honest, I'm
not sure how many different combinations of styles get routinely tested
with small caps. (The matrix of combinations of all the various styles
you can put text in with tags is staggering.) We're in a bit of a dusty
corner here.
I'm also not sure what the "right" way of handling numbers in small caps
mode should be, that is, whether they should match the height of upper-
or lower-case letters. It might depend on the font. But either way, it
should be consistent. In any case, the workaround is just to do another
replacement, like so:
SupVariable = SupVariable.replace(
/(\d+)/gi,
"</smallcap>$1<smallcap>");
SupVariable = SupVariable.replace(" ", " ");
