Furigana? :thinking: If so, yes.

Ah my mistake. I corrected my original post. Do I have to do it with markdown tags or is there an editing shortcut, like there is for lists and some other formatting?

You can use the <ruby> tag - <ruby>何<rt>なに</rt></ruby> becomes 何なに. And for anyone who’s wondering about rendaku because of the title, your IME can convert だくてん into ゛, which you can then tack onto any character you like - like 何゛

As Kazzeon says, the hiragana above kanji are called furigana. Rendaku is something else entirely… You can add furigana using HTML tags like so: <ruby>漢字<rt>かんじ</rt></ruby> 漢字かんじ Bit of a hassle, but it works.
