Hi Caroline, I found some good suggestions here: html - How to show text as a superscript in "Alt text"? - Stack Overflow
for the sake of readability, you might just want to do something like 10^1234
Use
value^10
if it means “to-the-10th-power”, use something likevalue[10]
orvalue (see #10)
if it means “see footnote #10”. Remember alt-text is used when the image is not available, and should provide semantics not typographical features
