So the Australian Style manual specifies that superscript is placed within punctuation except for at the end of a sentence, where it falls outside of the full stop. All well and good, but how about in the circumstance when the (complete) sentence ends with a colon that precedes a block quote? Does the superscript fall inside or outside of the colon?
I guess the question is whether the colon, in this case, constitutes the 'end of the sentence'.
