Yes, or else, the renderer has to make an exception and not shrink a scripted prime. MathPlayer does the latter, and the WebEQ Developer Suite tools do the former. Both of them also have logic to catch mismarked up expressions like <mi>x</mi><mo>′</mo> to insure that that does display with the prime at the usual size and location. It is a tremendous pain. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com MathML 2.0 Specification Co-editor 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
