Add option for superscript and subscript formatting to work object,  en

When writing text in a Text Object, I am missing the capability to format text in superscript (raised and in smaller font like "²" for example) or subscript where the text is lowered, as used in formulars like the 3 should be in "CO2."

When writing scientific texts, this omision is very problematic as superscript is typically used for references and subscript in chemical formulars. The only workaround is to activate html and use the <sup>5</sup> or <sub>2</sub> tags. It would be better if there were buttons, like in Word, for example.

Unfortunately, the workaround does not work well. The formular H<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> shows the 3 in superscript, but the 2 normally.

I have now found a workaround for entering super and subscript. By typing the text first in Microsoft Word, I can set the subscript there and then cut and paste it into the text object. It would be much easier if you could add super and subscript formating buttons to the editor.
