Re: [csswg-drafts] [math] math style (minimizing logical height of an equation) (#5387)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `math style`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Add math-style: normal | compact`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: math style<br>
&lt;fantasai> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5387<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: 2 ways of displaying math, one tries to minimize height to fit in lines better<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: one is taller one<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: shifts positions / sizing rules, etc.<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: Designed so you don't have as much gap in lines if you have math in it<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: rules defined in TeXBook<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: the switch is true or false for displaystyle?<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: I like normal and compact much better<br>
&lt;fantasai> iank_: Makes sense, but seems to also be able to affect the font size?<br>
&lt;fantasai> iank_: that will need to be carefully defined<br>
&lt;fantasai> NeilS: That effect is through the scriptlevel feature<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: Affects the font size, indirectly through another property<br>
&lt;fantasai> iank_: Happy to add, pending scriptlevel discussion<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: ok, any concerns to add?<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: would it go into display module?<br>
&lt;fantasai> iank_: Goes into MathML Core<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Add math-style: normal | compact<br>
&lt;astearns> zakim, end meeting<br>
&lt;Zakim> As of this point the attendees have been dholbert, fantasai, faceless, bkardell_, emilio, NeilS<br>
&lt;Zakim> RRSAgent, please draft minutes<br>
&lt;RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/09/10-css-minutes.html Zakim<br>
&lt;Zakim> I am happy to have been of service, astearns; please remember to excuse RRSAgent.  Goodbye<br>
&lt;bkardell_> hmm, I guess a few people didn't present+ in those minutes @fantasai @astearns - I see neither iank_  nor fredw<br>
&lt;iank_> :)<br>
&lt;gsnedders> plinss: https://drafts.csswg.org is claiming there are no specs in the repo!<br>
&lt;astearns> TabAtkins: maybe a bikeshed issue? I'm not seeing the generated spec in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-shapes-1/<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> it's a temporary server issue<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> lemme see...<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> hm, looks like server needs kicking<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> there's a single process running, but it's orange which I think means something bad, and it's not making progress<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> i just did a push to the repo, should hopefully kick off the regen process again? we'll see<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> yeah, things look fine now<br>
&lt;astearns> thanks!<br>
&lt;plinss> @tabatkins yeah, an orange process means it crashed (usually due to a db server issue), when that happens it blocks other processes (to make sure someone looks at it)<br>
&lt;plinss> most can be safely deleted, and the server will recover, but an 'UpdateDrafts.py' that has a '--pushId' arg should be manually re-run, so don't delete those, ping me.<br>
&lt;plinss> the 'no specs' error generally happens because a repo import crashed and left the db in a weird state, the next import will generally fix it<br>
&lt;plinss> (the db code is using transactions so that shouldn't happen, but still does sometimes, not sure why, maybe when the db hiccups it doesn't roll back transactions properly)<br>
