Superscripts and subscripts can finally be spoken by VoiceOver!

So I don't know at all when this happened, but one of the most basics thing missing in VoiceOver was how it wouldn't announce in speech when part of a text was in subscript or superscript, or at least the rumour was telling so. Maybe it was a user error all along, but I thought useful creating a thread to announce that this feature is there now, as of 26.3 rc, no idea of when it has actually been introduced though. I guess it's true for ios and its forks too but I am lazy to try it out. Note for windows users, in word and other programs, we are used to have subscripts, superscripts and similar as toggle, on / off. But on mac things are different, under font > baseline (roughly) it's either subscript, superscript, or something like default / none. Maybe that was a mistake with my testing. I will never understood the usefulness and practicality of how apple handel text styles and other things with braille status cells... HTH!
