<mtext>

The MathML <mtext> element is used to render arbitrary text with no notational meaning, such as comments or annotations.
To display text with notational meaning, use <mi> and <mo> instead.

Attributes

class, id, style

Provided for use with stylesheets.

dir

The text direction. Possible values are either ltr (left to right) or rtl (right to left).

href

Used to set a hyperlink to a specified URI.

mathbackground

The background color. You can use #rgb, #rrggbb and HTML color names.

mathcolor

The text color. You can use #rgb, #rrggbb and HTML color names.

mathsize

Specifies the size of the content. Possible values are:

• small:Font is rendered smaller than the current font size.
• normal:Equivalent to 100% or 1em.
• big:Font is rendered larger than the current font size.
• a custom length.
• or a unitless value which multiplies the default.

mathvariant

This attribute specifies the logical class of the identifier, which varies in typography. That is, although the names suggest the typographic style for the class, semantically, items with the same class are treated "the same" within an expression, which might or might not involve displaying them with the named typography. The following values are allowed:

• normal (Default value) ; $\mathrm{\text{Example}}$
• bold ; $\mathbf{\text{Example}}$
• italic ; $\mathit{\text{Example}}$
• bold-italic ; $\mathit{\text{Example}}$

• double-struck ; $\mathbb{\text{Example}}$
• bold-fraktur ; $\mathfrak{\text{Example}}$
• script ; $\mathcal{\text{Example}}$
• bold-script ; $\mathcal{\text{Example}}$
• fraktur ; $\mathfrak{\text{Example}}$

• sans-serif ; $\mathsf{\text{Example}}$
• bold-sans-serif ; $\mathsf{\text{Example}}$
• sans-serif-italic ; $\mathsf{\text{Example}}$
• sans-serif-bold-italic ; $\mathsf{\text{Example}}$
• monospace ; $\mathtt{\text{Example}}$

• normal (Default) ; $\text{مثال}$
• initial ; ${\text{مثال}}$
• tailed ; ${\text{مثال}}$
• looped ; ${\text{مثال}}$
• stretched ; ${\text{مثال}}$

Gecko-specific notes

• Starting with Gecko 20.0 (Firefox 20.0 / Thunderbird 20.0 / SeaMonkey 2.17) a unitless value for mathsize is allowed.
• Some mathvariant values are only implemented starting with Gecko 28.0 (Firefox 28.0 / Thunderbird 28.0 / SeaMonkey 2.25) and require appropriate math fonts.
