I've discovered that my htmltext problem with <sub> tags does not happen in 5.5.1. Unfortunately I want to use the code in a plugin so it really has to work in all recent versions of LC. Past experience suggests that there's not much hope of getting a bug fixed in a version when there's a later version in which it's already fixed.
Ahhh, the joys of writing plugins!
