Caret

Overview

Caret optionally adds two different features which are syntactically built around the ^ character. The first is insert which inserts <ins></ins> tags. The second is superscript which inserts <sup></sup> tags.

The Caret extension can be included in Python Markdown by using the following:

import markdown
md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['pymdownx.caret'])

Insert

To wrap content in an insert tag, simply surround the text with double ^. You can also enable smart_insert in the options. Smart behavior of insert models that of BetterEm.

^^Insert me^^

Superscript

To denote a superscript, you can surround the desired content in single ^. It uses Pandoc style logic, so if your superscript needs to have spaces, you must escape the spaces.
