lynx-dev Superscripts

[Sergei Pokrovsky]

I find the behavior of Lynx superscripts rather unpredictable.  To take
an example, the file

,----
| Ekz-e la lingvo 
| <p align="center">{ab, aabb, aaabbb, aaaabbbbb, ... 
| a<sup>n</sup>b<sup>n</sup> ... }</p>estas lineara.

is rendered as

,----
|    Ekz-e la lingvo
|    
|                {ab, aabb, aaabbb, aaaabbbbb, ... a^nb^n ... }
|    estas lineara.
|    
|    Iam oni konsideras la "rigore pozitivan" lingvoiteracion
|    
|                            L+ = L + L² + L³ + ...
|    (angle Kleene plus).
|    
|    La normoj
|    de  C^-1MC.

The rendering a^nb^n is what I expect; C^-1MC is worse (I'd prefer to
see C^{-1}MC); but I cannot understand why L<sup>+</sup> becomes mere
L+ ?  (To my surprise, L<sup>+1</sup> also becomes "L+1".)

Also linebreaks often occur in strange places, like in the last
paragraph of my example.
