Re: Release of the cif_core_restraints dictionary and superscriptmark up

Matt

Thanks for this, and for the off-list copy you sent with amendments. The
archive version at ftp.iucr.org has now been replaced with this. On this
occasion I have not bumped the minor version number or release date, since
there is no substantial difference from the previous version, though I'll
be happy to revisit this if people think that this will cause genuine
problems.

Cheers
Brian

These are due to equations in various descriptions containing text of the form "w = A*(B/D)^C + E*exp((D-F)/G)".  The trivial fix for this is to change the equations to use a double ^^ for indicating a raising to the power.  An alternative and potentially better fix would be to use ^C^ which would mean it should be correctly displayed as a superscript in an editor, though may be confusing for those reading in a plain text editor.  I can supply an updated version with the necessary edits if this would be helpful.
