Re: Horizontal MathML Tree

The horizontal display would not work for (X)HTML and SVG.
The other issue I can see is that it does not accomodate
attributes and comments easily. They could be removed from
the structure view, but it would then be difficult to edit them.

A picture is attached. It shows a new version of the structure
view for MathML, still vertical, but more compact than the
current one: the content of elements such as mo, mi, mn, etc.
is displayed on the same line as the tag.

This picture also shows a few attributes and comments, as
well as placeholders (empty lines), which allow you to put
the cursor at some structure positions that are not easily
reachable otherwise. Is there anything equivalent in the
horizontal display?
