vB codes: Why safer than HTML?

And these still won’t turn out right. They should be displayed with those hideously nonstandard full-sized capitals that hang below the standard bottom.

I don’t know of any way (other than (La)TeX itself, or a display format such as PostScript) to correctly render those names.

This is as close as I could get.

Is the ‘A’ in LaTeX a super-scripted letter? Sorry. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it rendered correctly.
