String.prototype.sup() - JavaScript | MDN

Syntax

Parameters

None.

Return value

A string beginning with a <sup> start tag, then the text str, and then a </sup> end tag.

Examples

Using sup()

The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:

js

const contentString = "Hello, world";

document.body.innerHTML = contentString.sup();

This will create the following HTML:

html

<sup>Hello, world</sup>

Instead of using sup() and creating HTML text directly, you should use DOM APIs such as document.createElement(). For example:

js

const contentString = "Hello, world";
const elem = document.createElement("sup");
elem.innerText = contentString;
document.body.appendChild(elem);
