MarkdownSuperscript 1.0

Python-Markdown extension to allow for superscript text.

An extension to the Python Markdown project which adds the ability to superscript text. To do so, the character ^ becomes a Markdown tag for text meant to be superscripted, and is replaced with the HTML sup tag.

For example, given the text:

2^10^ is 1024.

… using Markdown with this extension will output:

<p>2<sup>10</sup> is 1024.</p>
