MathML and extensions

MathML is NeoMath’s central format: the editor, LaTeX and Word all go through it. This page lists what NeoMath draws beyond the basics and its own extensions. The internal unit is 1/32 of a point.

Normalization#

Before drawing, the normalizer (optional, on by default) cleans MathML coming from Word and the web: manual spaces, thousands separator, multiplication dot and pairs of parentheses, which become stretchy delimiters. Use --sem-normalizar on the command line or "normalizar": false in the options to turn it off.

Large operators#

• Treated as large: ∑ ∏ ∫ ∐ (when they have limits or indices) and, always, ∬ ∭ ∮ ∯ ∰ ⋃ ⋂ ⋀ ⋁ ⨁ ⨂ ⨀. largeop="false" turns it off.
• Sign size: the preferences’ symbol size (150% by default); inside indices, subsymbol.
• munder, mover and munderover stack the limits; msub, msup and msubsup put them beside.

Sizes#

mathsize and neo:tamanho work on any element and propagate to children.

An element with an explicit size becomes the full size of its subtree: indices inside it use the index proportions over the new size. If both attributes appear, neo:tamanho wins.

Fine offset#

neo:dx and neo:dy move only the drawing of any element, in points (or in mathsize units). Positive dx goes right; positive dy goes up. Advance, box and neighbor spacing do not change.

<math><mi>x</mi><mo neo:dy="1.5">′</mo></math>

Tables#

A simple mtable uses the usual path. With any attribute below, it uses the extended path:

Labeled arrows and horizontal braces#

• An arrow (→ ← ↔ ⇒ ⇐ ⇔ ⇌ ↦ and the long ones) as the base of mover, munder or munderover becomes a labeled arrow, which grows with the label: max(1.2 em, label + 0.6 em).
• mover(base, ⎴) and munder(base, ⎵) draw horizontal brackets, with an optional label on the other side.

Alphabets#

• mathvariant on mi, mn, mtext and ms: bold, italic, bold-italic, script, bold-script, fraktur, bold-fraktur, double-struck, sans-serif (and bold and italic) and monospace.
• Characters from the Unicode mathematical alphanumeric block (U+1D400 to U+1D7FF) equal the plain letter with the matching variant.
• double-struck has only uppercase; script has uppercase and digits. What the font lacks comes out with the error symbol, without breaking the layout.

Double brackets and other enclosures#

• ⟦ ⟧ (also 〚 〛), by mfenced or by a loose pair of mo, drawn with the single bracket and an inner stroke.
• menclose with the notations box, roundedbox, circle, longdiv, actuarial, updiagonalstrike, downdiagonalstrike, horizontalstrike, top, bottom and combinations.
• mphantom, mpadded, mmultiscripts, ms, semantics and maction are also accepted.

Color#

mathcolor accepts #RRGGBB, names and device-cmyk(C% M% Y% K%). See Color in RGB and CMYK.
