== Different guidance for non-HTML rendering ==
 
Whilst Wikipedia only provides HTML rendering, in some cases that will be subject to further reduction to plain ASCII. Examples include: screen readers, web crawlers, and some mailing lists.
 
Where a client can be identified as preferring "plain text", sending “10&lt;sup>30&lt;/sup>” produces a ''deeply'' unsatisfactory end result like “1030”.
 
''Please'' can we recommend, in this specific case, using either Unicode superscript and subscript digits with fraction-slash,<ref>(superscripts U+2070, U+00b9, U+00b2, U+00b3, U+2074 thru U+2079; subscripts U+2080 thru U+2089; fraction-slash U+2044)</ref> or insert circumflex/caret “^” symbols for exponents and solidus “/” for fractions.
