[The parent node of a subnode is] only visible in the html and info versions of the documentation. If you type `help superscript`, you won't see it.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing `help superscript` and comparing its output with the HTML and Info documentation, where the parent node is visible. Done means the parent node is also shown in the help output, with a regression test if the relevant test location can be identified.
