The exponent-part consists of from three to five ^ that must immediately follow the decimal-part:
^^^ for the exponent part on one digit (after the sign): E+/-#
^^^^ for the exponent part on two digits (after the sign): E+/-##
^^^^^ for the exponent part on three digits (after the sign): E+/-###

I can update the documentation.
[edit]
DONE:
KeyPgPrintusing → fxm [updated syntax for exponential notation]
