Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] not so super superscript
I think you need to set the fop.extensions stylesheet parameter to 1. FOP does not support the baseline.shift property, so the stylesheets provide a workaround when that parameter is set. That's why your superscript is not elevated. You'll have to figure out how to set a parameter for a transformation driven by Oxygen. If you think it is too big (it is 75% of the body font size), then you can add a small customization of the superscript.properties attribute-set: <xsl:attribute-set name="superscript.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">60%</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> It might be easier to put both of these into a customization layer and let Oxygen apply that to your file.
