Hi. > I have a related question: what is the correct way in MathML to tag > "crossed out" parts of fractions, used to indicate terms that have been > cancelled? If it is a single letter or number, then the combining solidus > U+0338 would do the trick, but is there a way to indicate a line through a > whole expression? Should I use > <mrow>...the expression...</mrow><mo>̶</mo> ? This won't work properly in MathPlayer. I haven't tried Mozilla. My own preference would be to use the <menclose> construct. I have long thought this is really the right way to do strikeouts, since it is more in line with the MathML philosophy of explicitly binding operators to expressions: <menclose notation="NESWslash"> <mrow> ... the expression ... </mrow> </menclose> I haven't thought about the right collection of values for the notation attribute, but you would obviously want NESW and NWSE slashes. If this is very important to you, I might be able to slip it into the current MathPlayer development cycle still. I would be very interested to hear what the rest of the list thinks of this as well. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com MathML 2.0 Specification Co-editor 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
