On a side note: it really would be nice if we could have normal Markdown subscripts/superscripts supported on LW. It’s not like we don’t discuss STEM topics all the time, and using Latex is overkill and easy to get wrong if you don’t regularly write Tex.
Yes, seems sensible: hard to go wrong if you copy the Pandoc syntax. You’ll need to add a mention of this to the LW docs, of course, because the existing docs don’t mention sub/superscript either way, and users might assume that LW still copies the Reddit behavior of no-support.

Seems reasonable to me. We use markdown-it for markdown conversion, so does this plugin look like what you would want?

If so, I think I can probably get around to adding that to our markdown plugins sometime this week or early next week.
