Antenna House Formatter V7.4 - MathML Conformance

Antenna House Formatter V7.4 enables to render Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0 2nd Edition (PDF version) defined by W3C utilizing its originally developed engine. For that reason it's possible to render high resolution images in PDF. See also Graphics to learn how to utilize MathML. See also Option Setting File.

Antenna House Formatter V7.4 Lite customers must purchase “Antenna House Formatter MathML Option” to render MathML originally. For more details, see also Antenna House website.

The below table shows the implemented MathML elements and attributes.

[yes] in the list means that the element or property is implemented.
[partial] means that the element or property is partially implemented.
[no] means not implemented.

CAUTION:	We strongly recommend to embed fonts when generating PDF.

Element	Attribute	Condition	Comments
2.1.6	id	yes	Evaluates the following CSS properties: font-family font-weight font-style font-size color background-color As for id and class, external CSS settings will be reflected. The setting takes precedence over the setting by mathvariant, fontfamily, etc. that are specified within the same tag. In CSS, the CSS property specified to <math> is evaluated as a property of the image even if it's not listed above.
	class	yes
	style	yes
	href	yes	A hyperlink does not work.
	xref	no
	other	no	[deprecated attribute]
2.2 <math>		yes	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
	display	yes	The default value can be changed in the Option Setting File.
	maxwidth	yes
	overflow	partial	Implements linebreak only. Except for linebreak, the automatic line breaking does not occur but the line overflows. It has been extended to accept the value of none. This does not output an error message.
	altimg	no	Ignored.
	altimg-width	no	Ignored.
	altimg-height	no	Ignored.
	altimg-valign	no	Ignored.
	alttext	yes
	cdgroup	no
	macros	no	[deprecated attribute]

	src	yes	Supports only to raster images, such as JPEG or PNG.
	width	yes
	height	yes
	valign	yes
	alt	yes
	fontfamily	yes	[deprecated attribute] Invalid when src is specified.
	index	yes	[deprecated attribute] Invalid when src is specified. The value of index is considered GlyphID.
3.2.2	mathvariant	partial	initial, tailed, looped and stretched are not supported.
	mathsize	yes
	dir	yes	See also Restrictions.
	fontfamily	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathvariant is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
	fontweight	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathvariant is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
	fontstyle	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathvariant is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
	fontsize	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathsize is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
	color	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathcolor is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
	background	yes	[deprecated attribute] When mathbackground is used together, the effect is not guaranteed.
3.2.3 <mi>		yes	Although it is not written in the specification that a number, such as <mi>3</mi> is not made italic, the number does not become italic after the model of lots of implementations. This restriction can be adjusted in the Option Setting File.
3.2.4 <mn>		yes
3.2.5 <mo>		yes
	form	yes
	lspace	yes	The default value can be changed in the Option Setting File when it's not registered to the operator dictionary.
	rspace	yes	The default value can be changed in the Option Setting File when it's not registered to the operator dictionary.
	fence	yes
	separator	no	Ignored.
	stretchy	yes	The extension was made so that the signed length can be specified with a value like stretchy="-0.2em". Note that an unsigned length cannot be specified. Specifying a signed length also means true. Normally a character is stretched by keeping the original width, etc. By specifying a positive length for stretchy, the character is stretched to both left and right (or upwards and downwards) to the specified length. On the other hand, by specifying a negative length for stretchy, the character will be shrunk to the specified length. This length is affected by the restrictions of minsize and maxsize.

5.2.3 <annotation-xml>	no	Ignored.

What is written in the MathML 3.0 2nd Edition is implemented as is in the operator dictionary. However, the following operators are added:

Character	Glyph	Name	form	priority	lspace	rspace	Properties	Remark
U+FE37	︷	presentation form for vertical left curly bracket	postfix	880	0	0	stretchy, accent	recommend to use U+23DE
U+FE38	︸	presentation form for vertical right curly bracket	postfix	880	0	0	stretchy, accent	recommend to use U+23DF

The contents of the operator dictionary can be adjusted with the Option Setting File. There are the following restrictions:

priority is not supported.
separator is ignored.

The default operator dictionary which can be used with the Option Setting File is stored in OperatorDictionary.xml. Antenna House Formatter V7.4 does not refer to this file. It is recommended to extract and use the portion of an operator you want to change.

DTD of the operator dictionary is as follows:

<!ELEMENT operator-dictionary entry*>
<!ELEMENT entry EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST entry operator       CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST entry form           (prefix|infix|postfix) #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST entry priority       %integer; "0">
<!ATTLIST entry lspace         (0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7) "5">
<!ATTLIST entry rspace         (0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7) "5">
<!ATTLIST entry minsize        %length; #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST entry maxsize        %length: #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST entry accent         (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry fence          (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry separator      (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry stretchy       (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry symmetric      (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry largeop        (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry movablelimits  (false|true) "false">
<!ATTLIST entry linebreakstyle (before|after|duplicate) "before">

With MathML, some inputted characters will be substituted for processing. In case of Antenna House Formatter V7.4, characters are substituted as below.

The characters inside <mi>, <mn> and <mo> are substituted. For instance:
1. U+0027 U+0027 U+0027 U+0027 is substituted with U+2057
2. U+0027 U+0027 U+0027 is substituted with U+2034
3. U+0027 U+0027 is substituted with U+2033
4. U+0027 is substituted with U+2032
5. U+002D is substituted with U+2212
each.
For the characters inside the other tags like <mtext>, U+002D is substituted with U+2010.

You can make the substitution invalid with Option Setting File.

You can use the character entity reference defined below:

The line breaking does not occur within the elements below.
- <mfrac>
- <menclose>
- <msub>
- <msup>
- <msubsup>
- <munder>
- <mover>
- <munderover>
- <mmultiscripts>
- <msqrt>
- <mroot>
- <mstack>
- <mlongdiv>
The automatic line breaking does not occur within the elements below.
- <mtable>
Complicated scripts, such as Arabic, and Emoji are not supported.
When dir="rtl" is specified, although horizontal reverse processing of a region is performed, reverse processing in the inline progression direction, a root sign or Σ, etc. will not be mirrored.
Many of <csymbol> are not implemented.
Many of <bvar> includes unknown implementation method.
When displaying MathML in GUI, the display position of symbols such as = and - may shift vertically in some fonts. In such a case, check [Display Glyph on MathML] in Others in Other Settings Dialog in GUI. See also the workaround for GUI rendering in GUI Restrictions. There is no problem with PDF output, etc.
