Description
I know it's been stated that if you need formatting in tables, it should be a Matrix field. Unfortunately Matrix isn't exactly compact when it comes to a lot of data. Take this table for example: https://d.pr/i/r4TH9y
That much data would take up loads of screen real estate and be a pain for a client to enter efficiently. So a Table field works best.
In the heading row (which I'd create with the Table Maker plugin), you'll see superscript and subscript text. That is the kind of formatting that would be great to have in tables. For now I'm having to write out the HTML code, which is fine for just headers, but if it were data, that wouldn't exactly be fun, easy or efficient for clients.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Table field and the Matrix comparison described in the issue, along with the Table Maker plugin context. Confirm how superscript and subscript are currently entered as HTML and define the supported formatting scope for table headers and data. Done means clients can enter the requested formatting in Table fields without manually writing HTML.
