Instead of using the carrot symbol, you can use the GuideML feature number or expression to express powers.

Where does this use the caret?

While the individual terms of the Fibonacci sequence starting with 0 and 1 can be got by adding, you can also use Phi to find them, with this equation: Fn=(Φ^n-(-&#934smiley - winkeye^n)/√5.

Hmmm.... copy and paste didn't work like I thought it would...
Ah well, the rest of the sentence didn't metamorphosis.

Ah yes. I see it now. The trouble with using superscript is that it doesn't make the superscripted text smaller, so it is not immediately obvious that you mean a power. You can use the tag to reduce the text, but it is not officially permitted. I think I did it once in an edited entry without anybody noticing but it is not to be encouraged.

OK, I changed my mind, and I've changed the superscripts as you suggested.
