translate_sub_super.pro

;  NOTE to future maintainers:
;   Make sure sub_sup_idl stays before translate_sub_super.  At least
;   for now, when IDL encounters a function and automatically compiles
;   it, it only compiles the functions in the file up to the named
;   function.  So even if sub_sup_idl was declared with
;   FORWARD_FUNCTION in translate_sub_super, it would not properly
;   compile. 
;
;+
; SPECIAL NOTE: 
;       The file translate_sub_super.pro contains two functions,
;       translate_sub_super, and sub_sup_idl.  The former is the
;       generic routine for processing TeX sub/superscripts, the
;       latter is used only by translate_sub_super and has no general
;       utility.  Hence it lives here.  You will see documentation for
;       translate_sub_super second if you use DOC_LIBRARY.
