Bug #1: If the LaTeX source to an image contains an apostrophe, you cannot click the image to see the source. (I imagine the apostrophe is causing javascript errors by closing a string literal)

Example: $f'(x) = 0$

Bug #2: The forum code is too liberal with escaping characters: in particular, you cannot print a Greek letter with &alpha; because the forum software happily escapes the ampersand. Fixing this bug would be nice because it's quicker to type &alpha; than $\alpha$, and would reduce the number of LaTeX images in posts.

I know these have been around for a while; are there plans to fix them, or was it decided that it's not worth the effort?

I was wandering how do you type superscript letters in you post, because at the moment I'm using latex which slows things down a little?
