1 Introduction
The current profile is intended to be subset of MathML 3.0 [mathml] that could be used to capture structure of mathematical formulae in the way suitable for further CSS formatting. This profile is expected to facilitate adoption of MathML in web browsers and CSS formatters, allowing them to reuse existing CSS [css] visual formatting model, enhanced with a few mathematics-oriented extensions, for rendering of the layout schemata of presentational MathML. Development of the CSS profile is assumed to be coordinated with ongoing work on CSS. As specified in this document a restricted part of MathML3 properly used should render well with currently implemented CSS up to CSS 2.1. Some descriptions are offered of what might be done better were a limited set of new properties to be added to CSS3 modules.
It may be useful to note, in connection with the need for this profile, that the CSS2 specification [css2] was developed and refined at about the same time as the first MathML specification [mathml1]. Now new versions of both MathML and CSS are being created. This profile is thus part of the ongoing effort to realize the synergy that W3C Recommendations offer to the Web.
1.1 Differences in formatting models
The Math Working Group has identified the following issues, which are considered to be the main obstacles delaying fully consistent MathML/CSS integration.
- Insufficient control over vertical alignment of complex inline expressions such as inline tables with multiple rows.
- Lack of a mechanism to control stretching of glyphs, or any equivalent functionality, that could be used for sizing of mathematical delimiters and stretchy operators.
- Limited scope in the use of selectors and generation of content, which makes it difficult to apply complex formatting to basic structural markup.
- The order of children in presentational elements such as
mover
,munderover
,mmultiscripts
andmroot
does not match their in-flow positions; this makes formatting of such elements more difficult. - Handling of operators, delimiters and accents governed by an operator dictionary (that is by element content rather than attribute values) rather than by explicit markup makes matching of such operators using CSS selectors impossible.
- Usage of some presentational elements such as
mpadded
,mspace
,mstyle
might conflict with corresponding CSS formatting properties.
2 Math Elements
2.1 Root element
MathML specifies a single top-level or root math
element, which encapsulates each instance of MathML markup within a document. All other MathML markup must be contained in a math
element, which must always be the outermost element of a MathML expression and can contain an arbitrary number of children. The math
element carries the display
attribute that specifies whether the enclosed MathML expression should be rendered in a display style or an in-line style. Allowed values are "block" and "inline" (default). It also accepts altimg
and alttext
attributes that provide fall-back for User Applications (UAs) that do not support MathML layout schemata. The values of altimg
and alttext
attributes are URI and CDATA respectively. All MathML elements should be in the MathML namespace http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML
[rec-xmlns]. This can be ensured by adding a default namespace declaration to math
elements, or by using namespace prefixes bound to the MathML namespace.
2.2 Token elements and layout schemata
MathML elements included in the current profile can be divided into two classes. Token elements represent individual symbols, names, numbers, labels, etc. In general, tokens can have only character data as content. Layout schemata build expressions out of parts, and can only have elements as content except for whitespace, which they ignore. There are also a few empty elements used only in conjunction with specific layout schemata.
All individual "symbols" in a mathematical expression should be represented by MathML token elements. The primary MathML token element types are identifiers (e.g. variables or function names), numbers, and operators (including fences, such as parentheses, and separators, such as commas). There are also token elements for representing text or whitespace that has more aesthetic than mathematical significance, and for representing "string literals" for compatibility with computer algebra systems. Note that although a token element represents a single meaningful "symbol" (name, number, label, mathematical symbol, etc.), such symbols may be comprised of more than one character. For example sin
and 24
are represented by the single tokens <mi>sin</mi>
and <mn>24</mn>
respectively.
Token elements included in the current profile are summarized in the table below.
mi | identifier |
---|---|
mn | number |
mo | operator, fence or separator |
mtext | text |
mspace | space |
ms | string literal |
In traditional mathematical notation, expressions are recursively constructed out of smaller expressions, and ultimately out of single symbols, with the parts grouped and positioned using one of a small set of notational structures, which can be thought of as "expression constructors". In MathML, expressions are constructed in the same way, with the layout schemata playing the role of the expression constructors. The layout schemata specify the way in which sub-expressions are built into larger expressions. The terminology derives from the fact that each layout schema corresponds to a different way of "laying out" its sub-expressions to form a larger expression in traditional mathematical typesetting.
Basic expression constructions included in the current profile are listed in the table below.
mrow | groups any number of sub-expressions horizontally |
---|---|
mfrac | forms a fraction from two sub-expressions |
msqrt | forms a square root (radical without an index) |
mroot | forms a radical with specified index |
merror | encloses a syntax error message from a preprocessor |
mphantom | makes content invisible but preserve its size |
mfenced | surrounds content with a pair of fences |
menclose | encloses content with a stretching symbol |
msub | attaches a subscript to a base |
msup | attaches a superscript to a base |
msubsup | attaches a subscript-superscript pair to a base |
munder | attaches an underscript to a base |
mover | attaches an overscript to a base |
munderover | attaches an underscript-overscript pair to a base |
mmultiscripts | attaches prescripts to a base |
mtable | marks a table or matrix |
mtr | marks a row in a table or matrix |
mtd | marks a one entry in a table or matrix |
mstack | used for elementary math notations such as 2D addition, subtraction and multiplication |
mlongdiv | used for elementary math notations for long division |
msline | marks horizontal line in elementary math layouts |
msrow | marks row in elementary math layouts |
maction | binds actions to a sub-expression |
2.3 Required Arguments
Some layout schemata require a specific number of arguments, for example mfrac
is supposed to have two child elements representing numerator and denominator. In the current profile, layout schemata with fixed number of required arguments accept only elements mrow
, maction
, merror
, mphantom
and tokens mi
, mn
, mo
, ms
, mtext
as child elements. This restrictions is imposed to ensure that each part of layout schemata has its own containing block and is uniquely represented in the document object model. For example nested fractions where the numerator or denominator are themselves fractions
are not allowed in the MathML for CSS profile, although they are allowed in MathML 3.0. It is easy to meet the profile requirements by wrapping nested fractions in mrow
elements:
The number of arguments required by a particular layout schemata element is specified in the table below. Note that in the current profile, the content model of mfenced
and maction
is stricter compared to what is allowed by MathML 3.0 specification.
Element | Required argument count | Argument roles |
---|---|---|
mfrac | 2 | numerator denominator |
mroot | 2 | base index |
mfenced | 1 | base |
msub | 2 | base subscript |
msup | 2 | base superscript |
msubsup | 3 | base subscript superscript |
munder | 2 | base underscript |
mover | 2 | base overscript |
munderover | 3 | base underscript overscript |
mmultiscripts | 4 | base mprescripts presubscript presuperscript |
mtable | 1+ | one or more mtr elements |
mtr | 1+ | one or more mtd elements |
mstack | 4+ | one or more mn tokens followed by msrow element, msline and groups consisting of one or more mn tokens followed by optional msline |
mlongdiv | 3+ | result of the division followed by divisor and groups consisting of one or more mn tokens followed by optional msline |
msrow | 2 | mo token element followed by mn token |
maction | 2 | base tooltip |
The elements mrow
, msqrt
, merror
, mphantom
, menclose
, mtd
and math
admit any number of arguments and accept any layout schemata or token elements from current profile as children.
2.4 Common attributes
The attributes id
, class
and style
can be used on any element included in the current profile:id
provides a mechanism for annotating elements with unique identifiers, class
assigns one or more class names to an element andstyle
specifies style information for the current element. The attribute mathvariant
is allowed on nonempty token elements, attribute is included in the profile for interoperability reasons to ensure that font changes are transparent for CSS unaware UAs.
The following table lists common attributes, their values and the elements on which they can be used.
Name | values | default | valid on | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
id | ID | all elements | ||||||||
class | NMTOKENS | all elements | ||||||||
style | CDATA | all elements | ||||||||
mathvariant | normal | bold | italic | bold‑italic | sans-serif | bold‑sans‑serif | sans‑serif‑italic | sans‑serif‑bold‑italic | monospace | normal | mn, mo, ms, mtext |
mathvariant | normal | bold | italic | bold‑italic | sans-serif | bold‑sans‑serif | sans‑serif‑italic | sans‑serif‑bold‑italic | monospace | italic | mi |
3 Token Elements
Token elements in presentation markup are, broadly speaking, intended to represent the smallest units of mathematical notation which carry meaning. Tokens are roughly analogous to words in text. However, because of the precise, symbolic nature of mathematical notation, the various categories and properties of token elements figure prominently in MathML markup. By contrast, in textual data, individual words rarely need to be marked up or styled specially.
Frequently tokens consist of a single character denoting a mathematical symbol. Other cases, e.g., function names, involve multi-character tokens. Further, because traditional mathematical notation makes extensive use of symbols distinguished by their typographical properties, care must be taken to ensure that styling mechanisms respect typographical properties which carry meaning. Consequently, characters, tokens, and typographical properties of symbols are closely related to one another in MathML.
3.1 Identifier
An mi
element represents a mathematical identifier; its rendering consists of the text content displayed in a typeface corresponding to the mathvariant
attribute. Since the typeface used can distinguish similar identifiers, it often serves an important semantic function.
In MathML 3.0, the default value of mathvariant
depends on the content of the element, it is "italic" for single character content (e.g., <mi>x</mi>
) and "normal" otherwise (e.g., <mi>sin</mi>
). Such behavior does not fit well in the scope of CSS, therefore in current profile "italic" is the default value regardless of the element content and mathematical identifiers for which a non-italic typeface is desired (e.g., multi-character identifiers), must explicitly specify the mathvariant
attribute.
3.2 Number
An mn
element represents a "numeric literal" or other data that should be rendered as a numeric literal. Generally speaking, a numeric literal is a sequence of digits, perhaps including a decimal point, representing an unsigned integer or real number.
A typical graphical renderer would render an mn
element as the characters of its content, with no extra spacing around them (except spacing from neighboring elements such as mo
).
3.3 Operator
An mo
element represents an operator or anything that should be rendered as an operator. In MathML the list of things that should "render as an operator" is widely inclusive. Besides ordinary operators with infix, prefix, or postfix forms, fence characters such as braces, parentheses, and separators such as comma and semicolon are included. In the current profile the mo
element is not expected to produce vertically stretchable delimiters; instead the mfenced
element should be used for vertically stretchy delimiters such as stretchy brackets, braces, parentheses and vertical bars.
Note also that this profile does not rely on an operator dictionary, but instead it is recommended to mark fences, separators and large operators explicitly using fence
, separator
and largeop
attributes. In addition, prefix, infix and postfix operators may be distinguished using the form
attribute. In the present profile, the default value of this attribute is "prefix" if the mo
element is the first child of a parent element that has many children, and "postfix" if mo
element is the last child of a parent with multiple children; the value is "infix" in all other cases. Those mo
tokens that represent fences such as brackets, braces, parens and vertical bars should be marked using the fence
attribute, separators such as comma and semicolon should be marked using the separator
attribute, while large operators such as sums, products and integrals may be labeled using the largeop
attribute. UAs may rely on these attribute to infer default spacing around operators.
In the present profile stretchy operators are defined by the stretchar
attribute's specifying a stretchy character to replaces the content of an mo
element. The specified character is supposed to stretch to fill the available space (height of line box in case of vertically stretchy delimiters and the available width in case of horizontally stretchy delimiters). UAs that do not recognize a character specified by an stretchar
attribute as stretchy should ignore the attribute and display the content of the mo
element instead.
Name | values | default | |
---|---|---|---|
form | prefix | infix | postfix | depends on position of mo element, see exact rules above |
fence | true | false | false | |
separator | true | false | false | |
largeop | true | false | false | |
stretchar | character | none |
3.4 Text
An mtext
element is intended to denote commentary text.
3.5 Space
An mspace
empty element represents a blank space of any desired size, as set by its attributes. It can also be used to make linebreaking suggestions to a visual renderer.
Name | values | default | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
width | verythinmathspace | thinmathspace | mediummathspace | thickmathspace | verythickmathspace | 0 |
linebreak | auto | newline | goodbreak | auto |
The width
attribute defines the width of the space produced by an mspace
element. The default value is zero. Named values are described in table below.
Named space | value (em) |
---|---|
verythinmathspace | 1/9 |
thinmathspace | 1/6 |
mediummathspace | 2/9 |
thickmathspace | 5/12 |
verythickmathspace | 1/3 |
The linebreak
attribute is used to give a linebreaking hint to a visual renderer. Attribute values are defined in table below.
Value | Description |
---|---|
auto | default linebreaking algorithm (implementation dependent) |
newline | start a new line |
goodbreak | if a linebreak is needed on the line, here is a good spot |
In the case when both the width
attribute and the linebreak
attribute are set, the linebreak
attribute is ignored.
3.6 String Literal
The ms
element is used to represent "string literals" in expressions meant to be interpreted by computer algebra systems or other systems containing "programming languages". By default, string literals are displayed surrounded by double quotes.
In visual renderers, the content of an ms
element is typically rendered with no extra spacing added around the string, and quote characters at the beginning and the end of the string. By default, the left and right quote characters are both the standard double quote character ". However, these characters can be changed with the lquote
andrquote
attributes defined below.
Name | values | default |
---|---|---|
lquote | string | " |
rquote | string | " |
4 General Layout Schemata
Besides tokens there are several families of MathML presentation elements. One family of elements deals with various "scripting" notations, such as subscript and superscript. Another family is concerned with matrices and tables. The remainder of the elements, discussed in this section, describe other basic notations such as fractions and radicals, or deal with general functions such as action binding and error handling.
4.1 Horizontally Group Sub-Expressions
An mrow
element is used to group together any number of sub-expressions, usually consisting of one or more mo
elements acting as "operators" on one or more other expressions that are their "operands".
4.2 Fractions
The mfrac
element is used for fractions. It can also be used to mark up the presentation of fraction-like objects such as binomial coefficients and Legendre symbols. The syntax for mfrac
is:
numerator denominator
In addition to common attributes, mfrac
has additional attributes that could be used to control horizontal alignment of numerator and denominator and thickness of fraction bar.
Name | values | default | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
linethickness | 0 | 1 | 2 | medium | thick | 1 |
numalign | left | center | right | center | ||
denomalign | left | center | right | center |
The linethickness
attribute indicates the thickness of the horizontal "fraction bar", or "rule", typically used to render fractions. Value "0" indicates that no bar should be rendered, value "1" (the same as "medium") refers to default width of fraction bar and "2" ("thick") produces bold fraction bar.
The numalign
and denomalign
attributes control the horizontal alignment of the numerator and denominator, respectively. Typically, numerators and denominators are centered.
4.3 Radicals ,
These elements construct radicals. The msqrt
element is used for square roots, while the mroot
element is used to draw radicals with indices, e.g., a cube root. The syntax for these elements is:
base base index
The mroot
element requires exactly 2 arguments. However, msqrt
accepts any number of arguments.
4.4 Error Message
The merror
element displays its contents as an "error message". The contents can be any expression or expression sequence.
4.5 Making Sub-Expressions Invisible
The mphantom
element renders its content as invisible, but with the same size and other dimensions, including baseline position, that its contents would have if they were rendered normally; mphantom
can be used to align parts of an expression by invisibly duplicating sub-expressions.
4.6 Expression Inside Pair of Fences
The mfenced
element provides a convenient way of expressing common constructs involving fences (i.e., braces, brackets, and parentheses). The size of the fences depends on the size of the expression enclosed by the fence element. Opening and closing fences are specified using the open
and close
attributes defined below. This profile does not allow an mfenced
element to have multiple children; authors are encouraged to group multiple children into one mrow
element if this can be done.
Name | values | default |
---|---|---|
open | CDATA | ( |
close | CDATA | ) |
4.7 Enclose Expression Inside Notation
The menclose
element renders its content inside the enclosing notation specified by its notation
attribute, menclose
accepts any number of arguments.
The values allowed for notation
are open-ended. Conforming renderers may ignore any value they do not handle, although renderers are supposed to recognize at least the values listed below.
Name | values | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
notation | box | left | right | top | bottom | horizontalstrike |
The value "box" can be used to enclose content of the element in a frame. The values "left", "right", "top" and "bottom" should result in lines drawn on the corresponding sides of the contents, "horizontalstrike" should result in strikeout lines being superimposed over the content of themenclose
.
5 Script and Limit Schemata
The elements described in this section position one or more scripts around a base. In addition to subscript and superscript elements, MathML has overscript and underscript elements that place scripts above and below the base.
Because presentation elements should be used to describe the abstract notational structure of expressions, it is important that the base expression in all "scripting" elements (i.e., the first argument expression) should be the entire expression that is being scripted, not just, as has been common, the rightmost character.
5.1 Subscript
The syntax for the msub
element is:
base subscript
The element is used to attach a subscript to a base.
5.2 Superscript
The syntax for the msup
element is:
base superscript
The element is used to attach a superscript to a base.
5.3 Subscript-superscript Pair
The msubsup
element is used to attach both a subscript and a superscript to a base expression.
The syntax for the msubsup
element is:
base subscript superscript
5.4 Underscript
The syntax for the munder
element is:
base underscript
The element is used to attach an underscript below a base.
5.5 Overscript
The syntax for the mover
element is:
base overscript
The element is used to attach an overscript over a base.
5.6 Underscript-overscript Pair
The syntax for the munderover
element is:
base underscript overscript
The element is used to attach both an underscript and an overscript to a base.
5.7 Prescripts
In the current profile the syntax for the mmultiscripts
element is:
base presubscript presuperscript
This element allows adding pairs of prescripts to one base expression. Missing scripts can be represented by the empty element none
.
The argument sequence consists of the base followed by an empty element mprescripts
and a pair of, vertically aligned, a presubscript and a presuperscript.
6 Tables and Matrices
Matrices, arrays and other table-like mathematical notation are marked up using mtable
,mtr
, and mtd
elements. These elements are similar to thetable
, tr
and td
elements of XHTML.
6.1 Table or Matrix
A matrix or table is specified using the mtable
element.
The following attributes may be used to specify alignment and to add frames and rules to the table.
Name | values | default | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
rowalign | top | bottom | center | baseline | baseline |
columnalign | left | center | right | center | |
rowlines | none | solid | dashed | none | |
columnlines | none | solid | dashed | none | |
frame | none | solid | dashed | none |
Note that the default value for each of rowlines
, columnlines
andframe
is the literal string none, meaning that the default is to render no lines, rather than that there is no default.
The rowalign
attribute specifies how the entries in each row should be aligned. For example, "top" means that the tops of each entry in each row should be aligned with the tops of the other entries in that row. The columnalign
attribute specifies how the entries in each column should be aligned.
6.2 Row in a Table or Matrix
An mtr
element represents one row in a table or matrix. An mtr
element is only allowed as a direct sub-expression of an mtable
element, and specifies that its contents should form one row of the table. Each argument of mtr
is placed in a different column of the table, starting at the leftmost column.
The following attributes may be used to specify alignment
Name | values | default | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
rowalign | top | bottom | center | baseline | inherited |
columnalign | left | center | right | inherited |
The rowalign
and columnalign
attributes allow a specific row to override the alignment specified by the same attributes in the surrounding mtable
element.
6.3 Entry in a Table or Matrix
An mtd
element represents one entry, or cell, in a table or matrix. An mtd
element is only allowed as a direct sub-expression of an mtr
.
The following attributes may be used to specify alignment
Name | values | default | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
rowalign | top | bottom | center | baseline | inherited |
columnalign | left | center | right | inherited |
The rowalign
and columnalign
attributes allow a specific matrix element to override the alignment specified by a surrounding mtable
or mtr
element.
7 Elementary Math
7.1 2D addition, subtraction and multiplication
Table like structures in elementary math notations such as 2D addition, subtraction and multiplication can be produced using mstack
layout schemata. Vertical alignment of mstack
is specified by align
attribute. In current profile horizontal alignment of numbers within mstack
simply defaults to right, as current CSS implementations are unlikely to handle more sophisticated alignment mechanisms for mstack
layout schemata.
Name | values | default | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
align | top | bottom | center | baseline | baseline |
stackalign | right | attribute is required |
Element contains one or more mn
tokens followed by msrow
element, msline
and groups consisting of one or more mn
tokens followed by optional msline
.
The syntax for the mstack
element is:
(one or more mn
tokens) (msrow
element) (one or more mn
tokens followed by optional msline
)+
7.2 Horizontal rows
In the present profile msrow
element is used to add operator before last operand in elementary math notations such as 2D addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Element contains mo
token followed by mn
token
The syntax for the msrow
element is:
operatoroperand
7.3 Long division
Elementary math notations for long division can be produced using mlongdiv
layout schemata. Vertical alignment of mlongdiv
is specified by align
attribute. In current profile horizontal alignment of numbers within mlongdiv
simply defaults to left, as current CSS implementations are unlikely to handle more sophisticated alignment mechanisms for mlongdiv
layout schemata.
Name | values | default | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
align | top | bottom | center | baseline | baseline |
stackalign | left | attribute is required |
Element contains mn
token representing result of the division followed by mn
token representing divisor and groups consisting of one or more mn
tokens followed by optional msline
element.
The syntax for the mlongdiv
element is:
(result of the division) (divisor) (one or more mn
tokens followed by optional msline
)+
8 Annotations
8.1 Bind Action to a Sub-Expression
To provide a mechanism for binding actions to expressions, MathML provides the maction
element. The action type is specified by the actiontype
attribute. Current profile defines only "tooltip" actiontype.
Name | values | default |
---|---|---|
actiontype | tooltip | (required attribute, no default value) |
base tooltip
When a mouse cursor is placed over an expression UAs that support this action type should display the content of the second child in a "tooltip" box.
8.2 Add semantic mapping
The current profile deals with layout schemata that reflect the visual structure of mathematical formulae. To attach extra semantic information that describes the content of formulae or provide an alternative encoding of a mathematical expression one can use the Content MathML semantics
element. In current profile content model of semantics
element is limited to presentational MathML followed by annotation
and/or annotation-xml
elements.
9 Extensibility and Conformance
9.1 Extensibility
Since the current profile is designed to be suitable for use in an XML/CSS environment, it is relatively easy to extend it by adding new elements or attributes[rec-xml] to a DTD and specifying the default formatting in a style sheet. However any new elements should be placed in their own namespace and any new attributes added to existing MathML elements should have a namespace prefix; authors and implementers are strongly encouraged to use standard markup whenever possible. Similarly, maintainers of documents employing MathML extension mechanisms are encouraged to monitor relevant standards activity and to update documents to use more standardized markup as it becomes available.
9.2 Conformance
Documents that conform to this MathML for CSS profile should be conformant MathML 3.0 documents and should use only those MathML elements and attributes included in the current profile. The content of layout schemata with a fixed number of arguments should match the content model specified in the list of required arguments and the profile's DTD.
UAs that conform to the MathML for CSS profile should support all MathML elements and attributes included in profile. When a conformant UA encounters an element that it does not recognize it may ignore that element, but should process its content. UAs that support the standard DOM are encouraged to expose such elements through generic DOM Element interface. UAs that support style sheets are encouraged to apply formatting specified in style sheets to such elements.
10 Differences between MathML presentational markup and present profile
The MathML for CSS profile differs from full MathML presentational markup in a number of ways. The present section is intended to highlight the main differences.
- The profile drops several formatting oriented elements and attributes, including
mstyle
(an element explicitly formatting oriented and which duplicates some CSS functionality is a CSS-incompatible way),mpadded
(also now duplicating CSS functionality is CSS incompatible way),mglyph
(might be included in future versions of profile),mlabeledtr
(which does not fit in the CSS table model),malign
,maligngroup
,malignmark
,malignscope
,msgroup
,mscarry
andmscarries
elements. The list of dropped presentational attributes includesaccent
,accentunder
,align
,alignmentscope
,columnspacing
,columnspan
,columnwidth
,depth
,displaystyle
,equalcolumns
,equalrows
,fontfamily
,fontsize

,rspace
,side
,subscriptshift
,superscriptshift
,symmetric
,width (on mtable)
. Also list of supported named spaces is limited. - The changes affect the handling of an
mi
token element. In this MathML for CSS profile, the default value of themathvariant
attribute is "italic", regardless of the content of the element. For interoperability reasons, authors should specify the value of this attribute explicitly if anmi
token contains more then one character. - The MathML for CSS profile does not rely on an operator dictionary because CSS selectors can not differentiate between
mo
tokens based on their content. Therefore authors are encouraged to use more explicit markup when applicable: for example, stretchy vertical delimiters are better marked using themfenced
construction, and stretchy over or under bars and strikes are better marked using themenclose
element. In addition, there areform
,fence
,separator
,largeop
,stretchar
attributes that can be used to specify the class of an operator. - In the MathML for CSS profile the
mfenced
schema is simplified. In particular, theseparators
attribute of anmfenced
element is dropped, as there is no way to handle theseparator
attribute in the present CSS framework. For interoperability reasons, since the attribute does not have an empty default value, the content model was restricted to allow only one child element. - Multiscripts schemata is included in the profile but number of scripts is limited to at most two prescripts. It is difficult to handle mmultiscripts construction as the order of child elements inside a
mmultiscripts
element does not match their in-flow order. - The table model is simplified: the
mlabeledtr
element is dropped as it does not fit in the CSS table model, and many attributes have been removed. - The 2D elementary math layouts
mstack
andmlongdiv
are significantly simplified. Horizontal alignment options are limited andmscarries
construction is dropped. - Layout schemata with fixed number of required arguments accept only elements
mrow
,maction
,merror
,mphantom
and tokensmi
,mn
,mo
,ms
,mtext
as child elements. This restrictions is imposed to ensure that each part of layout schemata has its own containing block and is uniquely represented in document object model.

12 Default CSS style sheet
(this section is non normative)
This profile admits a default CSS style sheet that could be used to render MathML in CSS aware UAs. In the long term perspective it would be appropriate to extend CSS3 with a few math specific properties, until then one can use style sheet enclosed below for formatting of MathML defined in the current profile.
