 * I added the button to the toolbar. Looks correct while editing, but once I update
   the page, the actual article doesn’t raise the number. Acts as if no code.
 * Using Divi theme.
 * Please advise.
 * Thanks for your time.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsuperscript-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I guess it is the Divi theme that is blocking the standard code from working 
   correctly?
 * I had to add the following to get it to work correctly:
 * sup {
    vertical-align: super !important; font-size: smaller !important; }
 * Am I correct with my assumption?

 * Right, glad you figured it out 🙂
 * The `<sup>` tag can be styled from CSS like any other tag and the default styling
   can be overridden. Adding the above CSS should fix it.
 * A good idea would be to also check why the theme overrides it. Perhaps `<sup>`
   is used somewhere else for something… non-standard. If that’s the case perhaps
   using a less “forceful” CSS (with more specific selectors but without `!important`
   would be a better idea.
