MathML attribute reference

This is an alphabetical list of MathML attributes. More details for each attribute are available on particular element pages.

Notes:

  • The MathML <mstyle> and <math> elements accept all attributes of all MathML presentation elements.
  • See values for notes on values and units in MathML.

Unimplemented equalrows <mtable> A Boolean value indicating whether to force all rows to have the same total height.
fence <mo> A Boolean value specifying whether the operator is a fence (such as parentheses). There is no visual effect for this attribute.
Unimplemented form <mo> Specifies the role of the operator in an enclosed expression.
frame <mtable> Specifies borders of an entire <mtable>. Possible values are: none (default), solid and dashed.
framespacing <mtable> Specifies additional space added between the table and frame.

mathsize <mi>, <mn>, <mo>, <ms>, <mtext> The size of the content. Starting with Gecko 20.0 (Firefox 20 / Thunderbird 20 / SeaMonkey 2.17) unitless values are allowed and are interpreted as N times of the default size.
mathvariant <mi>, <mn>, <mo>, <ms>, <mtext> The logical class of the identifier, which varies in typography.
maxsize <mo> The maximum size of the operator.
Unimplemented minlabelspacing <mtable> A length value specifing the minimum space between a label and the adjacent cell in the row.
minsize <mo> The minimum size of the operator.
movablelimits <mo> Specifies whether attached under- and overscripts move to sub- and superscript positions.
notation <menclose> A list of notations, separated by white space, to apply to the child elements.
numalign <mfrac> The alignment of the numerator over the fraction.
open <mfenced> A string for the opening delimiter.
Unimplemented overflow <math> If an expression is too long to fit in the allowed width, this attribute sets the preferred handling.
