HTML5 MathML
HTML5 MathML height Attribute
The height attribute sets the height (the extent above the baseline) reported for a MathML element. It is used on layout elements such as <mpadded>, <mspace> and <mglyph>.
Definition and usage
The height attribute specifies how much vertical space above the baseline an element reports. On <mspace> it sets the height of the blank space; on <mpadded> it overrides the child's reported height. Values are lengths such as 10px, 1em or 0.
Which elements use it
- <mspace> - height of the blank space.
- <mpadded> - overridden reported height of the content.
- <mglyph> - display height of the glyph image.
Example
<math>
<mrow>
<mi>a</mi>
<mspace width="10px" height="12px" />
<mi>b</mi>
</mrow>
</math>The <mspace> reserves a gap 10px wide and 12px tall between a and b.
ℹ️
The height attribute is supported on the relevant elements in modern browsers; on <mspace> and <mglyph> it is part of MathML Core.
