What that page is saying (at least above the mess of text) is basically the following:
After the moves 1. e4 e5, these are some of the different possible lines available (follow along each row to see these, not down the columns).
2. d4 ed (which is exd4)
3. Qd4 Nc6
4. Qe3 Nf6
5. Nc3 Bb4
6. Bd2 0-0
7. 0-0-0 Re8
8. Bc4 d6
9. f3 Ne5
10. Bb3 Be6
which is equal
or
2. Bc4 Nf6
3. d4 exd4
4. Nf3 d5
5. exd5 Bb4
6. c3 Qe7
7. Kf1 dc (dxc3)
8. Nxc3 0-0
9. Bg5 h6
10. Bb4 Bf5
which is equal
or (note that here, the second move is the same as the previous line, this is the meaning of the ellipses)
2. Bc4 Nf6
3. d3 Nc6
4. Nf3 Be7
5. 0-0 0-0
6. c3 d5!?
7. exd3 Nd5
8. Re1 Bg4
9. h3 Bh5
10. Nbd2 Nf4
which is equal
or, finally,
2. Nf3 f5
3. exf5 e4
4. Ne5 Nf6
5. Be2! d6
6. Bh5 Ke7
7. Nf7 Qe8
8. Nc3 Nh5
9. Nd5 Kd7
10. Qh5 Rg8
which gives an advantage to white.
As to the exponents, those are telling you to refer to the notes below. In the first row, you have Qd4 with a footnote number 1. Going down to the text to the number 1, you see an alternate third move for white (3. c3) and more possible moves that could be made from this point on.
