layout schema (plural: schemata)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A presentation element defined in chapter 3, other than the token elements and empty elements defined there (i.e. not the elements defined in Section 3.2 [Token Elements] and Section 3.5.5 [Alignment Markers], or the empty elements none and mprescripts defined in Section 3.4.7 [Prescripts and Tensor Indices (mmultiscripts)]). The layout schemata are never empty elements (though their content may contain nothing in some cases), are always expressions, and all allow any MathML expressions as arguments (except for requirements on argument count, and the requirement for a certain empty element in mmultiscripts).
mathematical markup language (MathML)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

The markup language specified in this document for describing the structure of mathematical expressions, together with a mathematical context.
mathML element

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

An XML element that forms part of the logical structure of a MathML document.
mathML expression (within some valid mathML

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A single instance of a presentation element, except for the empty elements none or mprescripts, or an instance of malignmark within a token element (defined below); or a single instance of certain of the content elements (see Chapter 4 [Content Markup] for a precise definition of which ones).
multi-purpose internet mail extensions (MIME)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A set of specifications that offers a way to interchange text in languages with different character sets, and multimedia content among many different computer systems that use Internet mail standards.
openMath

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A general representation language for communicating mathematical objects between application programs.
operator, an mo element

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

Used to represent ordinary operators, fences, separators in MathML presentation. (The token element mo is defined in Section 3.2.5 [Operator, Fence, Separator or Accent (mo)]).
operator, content element

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A mathematical object that is applied to arguments using the apply element.
parsed character data (PCDATA)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

An SGML/XML data type for raw data occurring in a context where text is parsed and markup (for instance entity references and element start/end tags) is recognized.
point

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

Point is often abbreviated `pt'. The value of 1 pt is approximately 1/72 inch. Points are typically used to specify absolute sizes for font-related objects.
pre-defined function

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

One of the empty elements defined in Section 4.2.3 [Functions, Operators and Qualifiers] and used with the apply construct to build function applications.
presentation elements

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

MathML tags and entities intended to express the syntactic structure of mathematical notation (defined in Chapter 3 [Presentation Markup]).
presentation layout schema

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A presentation element that can have other MathML elements as content.
presentation token element

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A presentation element that can contain only parsed character data or the malignmark element.
qualifier

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A MathML content element that is used to specify the value of a specific named parameter in the application of selected pre-defined functions.
relation

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A MathML content element used to construct expressions such as a < b.
render

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

Faithfully translate into application-specific form allowing native application operations to be performed.
schema

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

Schema (plural: schemata or schemas). See `presentation layout schema'.
scope of a declaration

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

The portion of a MathML document in which a particular definition is active.
selected sub-expression (of an maction element)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

The argument of an maction element (a layout schema defined in Section 3.6 [Enlivening Expressions]) that is (at any given time) `selected' within the viewing state of a MathML renderer, or by the selection attribute when the element exists only in MathML data. Defined precisely in the abovementioned section.
