then typing say 14^4 puts it as a power (superscript (on top i think) or typing 14_2 puts it as a subscript (lower down) in a similar way you can do chemical formulas If you type for example ^1 _1 H (note the space) you get H (hydrogen) with the 1 and 1 for mass number and atomic number in the right place. is this what you mean by ordinals ? clearly in you can have anything so could perhaps do 10^th to get the th as superscript. hope this helps / is what you were looking for.
