Is < sc > supported markup?

I figured markup tag `sc` [a] is NOT supported in Zotero because

#1) `sc` is not listed on page
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography

#2) the edit title UI doesn't seem to recognize `sc` like it does for the tags in #1.

But JavaScript line
`https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/085b8db8570342044190c9592a3317d9c47d3bc9/Crossref REST.js#L52`
suggests it is supported.

    The syntax is not real HTML but a specific set of supported tags that are implemented in the citation processor. You need to use the syntax shown on the Zotero documentation page you linked to.

    My question about "supported" tag was very ambiguous. It could mean as input from the user or input from Crossref (or other zotero/translators/*.js I'm guessing).

    I'm figuring out what tags sent by Crossref will actually get handled appropriately in Zotero. It looks like <`sc`> is handled fine. Here's a nice example:

    Two examples I found are

    10.1093/pnasnexus/pgae557

    and

    10.1039/D4DT01663G

    The Crossref JSON value for the title has "<" + "sc" + ">" inside and I see my installation of Zotero properly recognize it and add small cap styling.

    Whooops, sorry it is "scp" not "sc" that is in the Crossref JSON value. I wasn't looking closely enough.

    So it is <`scp`> that I can confirm Zotero supports as data from Crossref. I haven't confirmed it works for `sc`.

    BTW, that line 52 in `Crossref REST.js` looks very suspicious. Crossref documentation and XML schemas indicate that <`sc`> is not a tag found in Crossref data. I've never seen anything thus far in the Zotero system that supports <`sc`>.

    I suspect <`sc`> is unsupported and the function `removeUnsupportedMarkup` is not doing the intended removal of <`sc`> or transformation of <`sc`> like <`scp`>.
