The World Wide Web Consortium and the Unicode Consortium have made recommendations on the choice between using markup and using superscript and subscript characters : " When used in mathematical context ( MathML ) it is recommended to consistently use style markup for superscripts and subscripts . . . However, when super and sub-scripts are to reflect semantic distinctions, it is easier to work with these meanings encoded in text rather than markup, for example, in phonetic or phonemic transcription ."

There are two families of phonemic transcriptions of Australian English : revised ones, which attempt to more accurately represent the phonetic sounds of Australian English; and the Mitchell-Delbridge system, which is minimally distinct from Jones'original transcription of RP . This page uses a revised transcription based on Durie and Hajek ( 1994 ) and Harrington, Cox and Evans ( 1997 ) but also shows the Mitchell-Delbridge equivalents as this system is commonly used for example in the Macquarie Dictionary and much literature, even recent.
