Whenever this has come up, I believe that the WG has been consistent in saying that the correct markup for primes is <msup><mi>x</mi><mo>′</mo></msup> where ′ is U+2032. I think it would be good if systems allowed the ascii ' to also work (just as they make ascii - make the same thing as &minus, U+2212. This despite the fact that fonts other than TeX ones probably have the prime raised already as the glyph, the renderer is supposed to just make the adjustment. > My point is that there is insufficient guidance in the spec. yes I suppose we could put something in chapter 7 (what has always previously been chapter 6) google turned Robert giving a much more complete reply here last year http://www.nabble.com/Rendering-primes:-%3Cmsup%3E%3Cmi%3Ex%3C-mi%3E%3Cmo%3E--x2032-%3C-mo%3E%3C-msup%3E-td18155419.html David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
