Hi Stobot,

First, just to be sure -- you do know that you can use the edit toolbar to 
apply the superscript? That's why I assumed you were interested. You can 
even use a key short-cut, though it would need to re-assigned on firefox 
because it conflicts with the private session keystroke sequence.

If so, one quick way to put in your own syntax is to hack 

$:/core/ui/EditorToolbar/superscript

Change the references to "^^" to "<mark>" and "</mark>" and you're done.

Making your own syntax in this case is surprisingly easy (though I don't 
know how easily it breaks).

Take the tiddler:

$:/core/modules/parsers/wikiparser/rules/emphasis/superscript.js

and clone it. Change the title to 

$:/core/modules/parsers/wikiparser/rules/emphasis/mark.js

Change all references to "superscript" into "mark" and all the references 
to ^ into = . Change the tag="sup" to tag="mark". Save and reload (you have 
to reload after changing or adding javascript macros).

Now whenever you type "My name is ==Mark== " the text "Mark" will be 
highlighted.

Oh! Be sure to make a backup before trying this on any TW5 file that you 
actually want to keep!

-- Mark
