Dear Michal, I just noticed that TeX Live 2018 has been frozen. I am hoping to submit a Word document to a publisher before the end of the month. If there is a fix for the superscript/subscript-in-footnotes bug before then, will there be some way to patch my version of tex4ht before the 2019 release?
