[Kst] [Bug 144108] New: Superscript cannot be used to start a label

[Duncan Hanson]

I think that this might be a "feature not a bug". Parsing of ^ should
try to associate the superscript with some block of previous text,
otherwise you couldn't do things like \[M\]_{H_2 0}. I guess an if
case could be made for the first element of a label... but it seems
like a very specific thing to do for such a small problem!

If you're concerned about the space you can use {}^3He.

By the way, I empathize about square brackets in labels. They catch me
all the time.

Duncan.
