For those who don’t have math extensions in the browser, if that is 2^0.6039, then why don’t math extensions just detect math syntax and style it directly?
I mean, in this case, it's 2^{0.6039n}, and the n is pretty important. I can see why trying to automatically detect cases like this would run into a bunch of wrong behaviors (either styling text that was not meant to be math notation, or parsing the implied math notation incorrectly).
