denomalign
The alignment of the denominator under the fraction. Possible values are: left, center (default), and right.
href
Used to set a hyperlink to a specified URI.
linethickness
The thickness of the horizontal fraction line. The default value is medium, but thin, thick, and other length values can be set.
mathbackground
The background color. You can use #rgb, #rrggbb and HTML color names.
mathcolor
The text color and also the fraction line color. You can use #rgb, #rrggbb and HTML color names.
numalign
The alignment of the numerator over the fraction. Possible values are: left, center (default), and right.
