Thanks for the quick response.

So, it looks like this is a pseudo-HTML format, that only supports the limited 
set of tags, and no character entity references, right?  Is this the complete 
set of elements: <i>, <b>, <sup>, <sub>, and <span>?

I did some testing with citeproc-json, and it seems to handle it surprisingly 
well.  Here's the results of my tests converting into MLA in HTML format:

'πr<sup>2</sup> & pies are round.' => 'πr <sup>2</sup> &#38; Pies Are Round'
'<sup>' => '&#60;sup&#62;'
'<sup/>' => '&#60;sup/&#62;'
'<sup>i<i>j</i></sup>' => '<sup>i<span 
style="font-style:normal;">j</span></sup>'

But it means (as I guess you all are probably aware) that there are certain 
strings that cannot appear in one of these fields.  For example, if I wanted to 
talk about the literal string "<i>j</i>" in my abstract, I don't think there's 
any way it could be represented, is there?

Subject: Re: [xbiblio-devel] Markup in titles

citeproc-js - and hence CSL JSON - accept html markup for subscript, 
superscript, italics, bold, and small caps:
These: http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography
get passed on literally to citeproch, i.e. your example should ideally have:
"title": "Solutions of a Lagrangian system on T<sup>2</sup>",
which is, I see, what's already in the XML output from PMC. I'll look at 
implementing that on the Zotero import side.

Is there any allowance in the citeproc-json format or in any of the tools to 
deal with articles that have markup in titles?  For example, here is an article 
with a sup element in the title, 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC26831/.

I suspect that the markup is just dropped, but wanted to double check.  Has it 
been discussed before?  I searched the mailing list archives, with no luck.
