I need to show the function eAxn inside a JLabel, but trying to do so doesn't work and only shows as eAxn which is confusing. eAx^n could help, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Probably is because of the html version, or JLabels just dislike nested superscripts.
How else would you approach this for a JLabel?

I stumbled upon a discussion about this in the [java-forums](http://www.java-forums.org/awt-swing/55491-sup-tag-doesnt-work-properly.html). They recommend using JavaFX components to do this, but that's just too much for what I have to do, I'll stick to eAx^n – Jedabero May 25 '13 at 22:27

For that specific case there exists a special-2 \u00b2.
<html>e<sup>0.5x²</sup>
The HTML editor kit, and styled text uses character attributes, which probably prevent nesting of <sup> tags. Maybe with <span style='...'> something can be done too.

It's actually something more general like eAxn. I'll try the span tag. Thanks. Also it's html inside a java's JLabel. – Jedabero May 25 '13 at 21:46

changing to a smaller font and to a vertical align with the span tag didn't work – Jedabero May 25 '13 at 22:17
