Instead, however, the simple x^2 outside of the verbatim environment puts the caret above the 2 even though I have set #+OPTIONS: ^:nil This seems to be because org-mode exports x^2 as x\^2 in the tex file. I think exporting it as x\^{}2 would give a better result. Is there another way to get the appearance I'm looking for without using the verbatim environment? Thanks for your advice, Paul PS. I'm using Emacs 24.2.1 with Org mode 8.0.2. --90e6ba6e8b30d4246b04dc607253 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="caret_symbol.org" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="caret_symbol.org" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: f_hgjmu1qz0 IytPUFRJT05TOiBeOm5pbCB0b2M6bmlsCgp4XjIKClxiZWdpbnt2ZXJiYXRpbX0KeF4yClxlbmR7 dmVyYmF0aW19Cg== --90e6ba6e8b30d4246b04dc607253--
