Dear Alex,

I've been busy in the last week, so I was not able to take a look at
these issues yet. I hope that things will settle down soon, I will
start to process the issue queue then. No need to worry about the
number of issues.

Best regards,
Michal

> 1. Superscript (and subscripts) not working in footnotes

>  This is the main one because it can't be fixed by find/replace. I use 
> superscript to refer to the "recto" and "verso" of folios in medieval 
> manuscripts (e.g., `folio 2\textsuperscript{r}` for the recto side of folio 
> 2), and I use subscript for line numbers when referring to manuscripts or 
> critical editions (e.g., `22\textsubscript{1-24}` for lines 1-24 of page 22). 
> Especially in the latter case, information is actually lost in the 
> conversion, since "221-24" means something quite different from "22, lines 
> 1-24".

> of spuriously italicized (or boldface) footnote hooks 
> (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/474003/spuriously-italicized-footnote-hooks-in-tex4ht-output).

> The rest are less important. The section break issue can be fixed with 
> find/replace in MS Word (find ^b = Section break, replace it with nothing). 
> The section numbering issue is not an issue at all (I was confused). As for 
> formatting footnotes, that is certainly not urgent!

> I hope this helps. I would also like to express my gratitude to all who work 
> on and maintain tex4ht, which is a life-saver for those of us working with 
> publishers who are still in the Word world!

> Best wishes,
> Alex
