Presentation markup and content markup can be combined in two ways. The first manner is to intersperse content and presentation elements in what is essentially a single tree. This is called mixed markup. The second manner is to provide both an explicit presentation and an explicit content in a pair of trees. This is called parallel markup. This chapter describes both mixed and parallel markup, and how they may used in conjunction with style sheets and other tools.
Chapters 3 and 4 describe two kinds of markup for encoding mathematical material in documents.
Presentation markup captures notational structure. It encodes the notational structure of an expression in a sufficiently abstract way to facilitate rendering to various media. Thus, the same presentation markup can be rendered with relative ease on screen in either wide and narrow windows, in ASCII or graphics, in print, or it can be enunciated in a sensible way when spoken. It does this by providing information such as structured grouping of expression parts, classification of symbols, etc.
Presentation markup does not directly concern itself with the mathematical structure or meaning of an expression. In many situations, notational structure and mathematical structure are closely related, so a sophisticated processing application may be able to heuristically infer mathematical meaning from notational structure, provided sufficient context is known. However, in practice, the inference of mathematical meaning from mathematical notation must often be left to the reader.
Employing presentation tags alone may limit the ability to re-use a MathML object in another context, especially evaluation by external applications.
Content markup captures mathematical structure. It encodes mathematical structure in a sufficiently regular way in order to facilitate the assignment of mathematical meaning to an expression by application programs. Though the details of mapping from mathematical expression structure to mathematical meaning can be extremely complex, in practice, there is wide agreement about the conventional meaning of many basic mathematical constructions. Consequently, much of the meaning of a content expression is easily accessible to a processing application, independently of where or how it is displayed to the reader. In many cases, content markup could be cut from a Web browser and pasted into a mathematical software tool with confidence that sensible values will be computed.
Since content markup is not directly concerned with how an expression is displayed, a renderer must infer how an expression should be presented to a reader. While a sufficiently sophisticated renderer and style-sheet mechanism could in principle allow a user to read mathematical documents using personalized notational preferences, in practice, rendering content expressions with notational nuances may still require intervention of some sort.
Employing content tags alone may limit the ability of the author to precisely control how an expression is rendered.
Both content and presentation tags are necessary in order to provide the full expressive capability one would expect in a mathematical markup language. Often the same mathematical notation is used to represent several completely different concepts. For example, the notation xi may be intended (in polynomial algebra) as the i-th power of the variable x, or as the i-th component of a vector x (in tensor calculus). In other cases, the same mathematical concept may be displayed in one of various notations. For instance, the factorial of a number might be expressed with an exclamation mark, a Gamma function, or a Pochhammer symbol.
Thus the same notation may represent several mathematical ideas, and, conversely, the same mathematical idea often has several notations. In order to provide authors with the ability to precisely control notation while at the same time encoding meanings in a machine-readable way, both content and presentation markup are needed.
In general, if it is important to control exactly how an expression is rendered, presentation markup will generally be more satisfactory. If it is important that the meaning of an expression can be interpreted dependably and automatically, then content markup will generally be more satisfactory.
MathML offers authors elements for both content and presentation markup. Whether to use one or the other, or a combination of both, depends on what aspects of rendering and interpretation an author wishes to control, and what kinds of re-use he or she wishes to facilitate.
In many common situations, an author or authoring tool may choose to generate either presentation or content markup exclusively. For example, a program for translating legacy documents would most likely generate pure presentation markup. Similarly, an educational software package might very well generate only content markup for evaluation in a computer algebra system. However, in many other situations, there are advantages to mixing both presentation and content markup within a single expression.
If an author is primarily presentation-oriented, interspersing some content markup will often produce more accessible, more re-usable results. For example, an author writing about linear algebra might write:
<mrow> <apply> <power/> <ci>x</ci> <cn>2</cn> </apply> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mi>v</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </mrow>
where v is a vector and the superscript denotes a vector component, and x is a real variable. On account of the linear algebra context, a visually impaired reader may have directed his or her voice synthesis software to render superscripts as vector components. By explicitly encoding the power, the content markup yields a much better voice rendering than would likely happen by default.
If an author is primarily content-oriented, there are two reasons to intersperse presentation markup. First, using presentation markup provides a way of modifying or refining how a content expression is rendered. For example, one might write:
<apply> <in/> <ci><mi mathvariant="bold">v</mi></ci> <ci>S</ci> </apply>
In this case, the use of embedded presentation markup allows the author to specify that v should be rendered in boldface. In the same way, it is somtimes the case that a completely different notation is desired for a content expression. For example, here we express a fact about factorials, n = n!/(n-1)!, using the ascending factorial notation:
<apply> <equivalent/> <ci>n</ci> <apply> <divide/> <semantics> <apply> <factorial/> <ci>n</ci> </apply> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Presentation"> <msup> <mn>1</mn> <mover accent="true"> <mi>n</mi> <mo>‾</mo> </mover> </msup> </annotation-xml> </semantics> <semantics> <apply> <factorial/> <apply><minus/><ci>n</ci><cn>1</cn></apply> </apply> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Presentation"> <msup> <mn>1</mn> <mover accent="true"> <mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>-</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow> <mo>‾</mo> </mover> </msup> </annotation-xml> </semantics> </apply> </apply>
This content expression would render using the given notation as:
A second reason to use presentation within content markup is that there is a continually growing list of areas of discourse that do not have pre-defined content elements for encoding their objects and operators. As a consequence, any system of content markup inevitably requires an extension mechanism that combines notation with semantics in some way. MathML content markup specifies several ways of attaching an external semantic definitions to content objects. It is necessary, however, to use MathML presentation markup to specify how such user-defined semantic extensions should be rendered.
For example, the `rank' operator from linear algebra is not
included as a pre-defined MathML content element. Thus, to express
the statement rank(uTv)=1
we use a semantics
element to bind a semantic
definition to the symbol rank.
<apply> <eq/> <apply> <semantics> <mi>rank</mi> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="OpenMath"> <OMS name="rank" cd="linalg3" Surfns="http://www.openmath.org/OpenMath"/> </annotation-xml> </semantics> <apply> <times/> <apply> <transpose/> <ci>u</ci> </apply> <ci>v</ci> </apply> </apply> <cn>1</cn> </apply>
Here, the semantics of rank have been given using a symbol from an OpenMath content dictionary (CD).
The main consideration when presentation markup and content markup are mixed together in a single expression is that the result should still make sense. When both kinds of markup are contained in a presentation expression, this means it should be possible to render the resulting mixed expressions simply and sensibly. Conversely, when mixed markup appears in a content expression, it should be possible to simply and sensibly assign a semantic interpretation to the expression as whole. These requirements place a few natural constraints on how presentation and content markup can be mixed in a single expression, in order to avoid ambiguous or otherwise problematic expressions.
Two examples illustrate the kinds of problems that must be avoided in mixed markup. Consider:
<mrow> <bvar> x </bvar> <mo> + </mo> <bvar> y </bvar> </mrow>
In this example, the content element bvar
has been
indiscriminately embedded in a presentation expression.
Since bvar
requires an enclosing context for its
meaning, this expression is unclear.
Similarly, consider:
<apply> <ci> x </ci> <mo> + </mo> <ci> y </ci> </apply>
Here, the mo
element is problematic. Should a
renderer infer that the usual arithmetic operator is intended, and act as
if the prefix content element plus
had been used?
Or should this be literally interpreted as the operator x
applied to two arguments,
<mo>
+</mo>
and
<mi>
y</mi>
?
Even if we were to decide that
<mo>
+</mo>
was the operator, then what
should its meaning be?
These questions do not have particularly compelling answers, so this kind
of mixing of content and presentation markup is also prohibited.
The use of presentation markup within content markup is limited to situations that do not effect the ability of content markup to unambiguously encode mathematical meaning. Specifically, presentation markup may only appear in content markup in three ways:
ci
and
cn
token elements
csymbol
element
semantics
element
Any other presentation markup occurring within a content markup is a MathML error. More detailed discussion of these three cases follows:
ci
and cn
are permitted to contain any sequence of
MathML characters (defined in Chapter 6 [Characters, Entities and Fonts]),
presentation elements, and sep
empty elements.
Contiguous blocks of MathML characters in ci
and
cn
elements are rendered as if they were wrapped in
mi
and mn
elements respectively. If a token element contains both MathML characters
and presentation elements, contiguous blocks of MathML characters (if any)
are treated as
if wrapped in mi
or mn
elements as appropriate, and the resulting collection of presentation
elements are rendered as if wrapped in an mrow
element.csymbol
element.
csymbol
element may contain either
MathML characters interspersed with presentation markup, or content elements
of the container type. It is a MathML error for a csymbol
element to contain both presentation and
content elements. When the csymbol
element contains
both raw data and presentation markup, the same rendering rules that apply
to content elements of the token type should be used.semantics
element.
semantics
element is to provide a mechanism for
incorporating arbitrary MathML expressions into content markup in a
semantically meaningful way. In particular, any valid presentation
expression can be embedded in a content expression by placing it as the
first child of a semantics
element. The
meaning of this wrapped expression should be indicated by one or more
annotation elements also contained in the semantics
element. Suggested rendering for a semantics
element is discussed in Section 4.2.6 [Syntax and Semantics].
The guiding principle for embedding content markup within presentation expressions is that the resulting expression should still have an unambiguous rendering. In general, this means that embedded content expressions must be semantically meaningful, since rendering of content markup depends on its meaning.
Certain content elements
derive part of their semantic meaning from the surrounding context, such as
whether a bvar
element is qualifying an integral,
logical quantifier or lambda expression. Another example
would be whether a degree
element occurs in
a root
or partialdiff
element.
Thus, in a presentation context, elements such as these do not have a clearly
defined meaning, and hence there is no obvious choice for a rendering.
Consequently, they are not allowed.
Using the terminology of Section 4.2.1 [Overview of Syntax and Usage],
we see that operator, relation, container, constant and symbol
elements make sense on their own, while elements of the
qualifier and condition type do not.
(Note that interval
may be used either as
a general container, or as a qualifier.)
Outside these categories, certain elements deserve specific comment:
the elements declare
, sep
,
annotation
and annotation-xml
can only appear in very specific contexts and consequently are not permitted
as direct sub-expressions of any presentation element.
Finally, the element semantics
carries with it sufficient information to be permitted in presentation.
The complete list of content elements that cannot appear as a child
in a presentation element is:
annotation
,
annotation-xml
,
sep
,
declare
,
bvar
,
condition
,
degree
,
logbase
,
lowlimit
,
uplimit
.
Note that within presentation markup, content expressions may only appear in locations where it is valid for any MathML expression to appear. In particular, content expressions may not appear within presentation token elements. In this regard mixing presentation and content are asymmetrical.
Note that embedding content markup in presentation will often require
applications to render operators outside of an apply
context. E.g., it may be necessary to render
abs
,
plus
,
root
or
sin
outside of an application. Content/presentation mixing does not
introduce any new requirements, however, since unapplied operators
are already permitted in content expressions, for example:
<apply> <compose/> <sin/> <apply> <inverse/> <root/> </apply> </apply>
Some applications are able to make use of both presentation and content information. For these applications it is desirable to provide both forms of markup for the same mathematical expression. This is called parallel markup.
Parallel markup is achieved with the semantics
element. Parallel markup for an expression
can be used on its own, or can be incorporated as part of a larger content
or presentation tree.
In many cases what is desired is to provide
presentation markup and content markup for a mathematical
expression as a whole.
To achieve this, a single semantics
element is used
pairing two markup trees, with the first branch being the MathML presentation
markup, and the second branch being the MathML content markup.
The following example encodes the boolean arithmetic expression (a+b)(c+d) in this way.
<semantics> <mrow> <mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>a</mi> <mo>+</mo> <mi>b</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow> <mo>⁢</mo> <mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>c</mi> <mo>+</mo> <mi>d</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow> </mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply><and/> <apply><xor/><ci>a</ci> <ci>b</ci></apply> <apply><xor/><ci>c</ci> <ci>d</ci></apply> </apply> </annotation-xml> </semantics>
This example is non-trivial in the sense that the content markup could not be easily derived from the presentation markup alone.
Top-level pairing of independent presentation and content markup is
sufficient for many, but not all, situations. Applications that allow
treatment of sub-expressions of mathematical objects require
the ability to associate presentation, content or information with the
parts of an object with mathematical markup. Top-level
pairing with a semantics
element is insufficient in
this type of situation; identification of a sub-expression in one branch of
semantics
element gives no indication of the
corresponding parts in other branches.
The ability to identify corresponding sub-expressions is required in
applications such as mathematical expression editors. In this situation,
selecting a sub-expression on a visual display can identify a particular
portion of a presentation markup tree. The application then needs to
determine the corresponding annotations of the sub-expressions; in
particular, the application requires the sub-expressions of the
annotation-xml
tree in MathML content notation.
It is, in principle, possible to provide annotations for
each presentation node by incorporating
semantics
elements recursively.
<semantics> <mrow> <semantics> <mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>a</mi> <mo>+</mo> <mi>b</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply><plus/><ci>a</ci> <ci>b</ci></apply> </annotation-xml> </semantics> <mo>⁢</mo> <semantics> <mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>c</mi> <mo>+</mo> <mi>d</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply><plus/><ci>c</ci> <ci>d</ci></apply> </annotation-xml> </semantics> </mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply><times/> <apply><plus/><ci>a</ci> <ci>b</ci></apply> <apply><plus/><ci>c</ci> <ci>d</ci></apply> </apply> </annotation-xml> </semantics>
To be complete this example would be much more verbose, wrapping each of
the individual leaves mi
, mo
and mn
in a further seven
semantics
elements.
This approach is very general and works for all kinds of annotations (including non-MathML annotations and multiple annotations). It leads, however, to O(n2) increase in size of the document. This is therefore not a suitable approach for fine-grained parallel markup of large objects.
id
and xref
To better accomodate applications that must deal with sub-expressions
of large objects, MathML uses cross-references between the branches of a
semantics
element to identify corresponding
sub-structures.
Cross-referencing is achieved using id
and xref
attributes within the branches of a containing semantics
element. These attributes may optionally be
placed on MathML elements of any type.
The following example shows this cross-referencing for the boolean arithmetic expression (a+b)(c+d).
<semantics> <mrow id="E"> <mrow id="E.1"> <mo id="E.1.1">(</mo> <mi id="E.1.2">a</mi> <mo id="E.1.3">+</mo> <mi id="E.1.4">b</mi> <mo id="E.1.5">)</mo> </mrow> <mo id="E.2">⁢</mo> <mrow id="E.3"> <mo id="E.3.1">(</mo> <mi id="E.3.2">c</mi> <mo id="E.3.3">+</mo> <mi id="E.3.4">d</mi> <mo id="E.3.5">)</mo> </mrow> </mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply xref="E"> <and xref="E.2"/> <apply xref="E.1"> <xor xref="E.1.3"/><ci xref="E.1.2">a</ci><ci xref="E.1.4">b</ci> </apply> <apply xref="E.3"> <xor xref="E.3.3"/><ci xref="E.3.2">c</ci><ci xref="E.3.4">d</ci> </apply> </apply> </annotation-xml> </semantics>
An id
attribute and a corresponding xref
appearing within the same semantics
element create a correspondence between
sub-expressions.
In creating these correspondences by cross-reference, all
of the id
attributes referenced by any xref
must be in the same branch of an
enclosing semantics
element. This constraint
guarantees that these correspondences do not create unintentional cycles.
(Note that this restriction does not exclude the use of id
attributes within the other branches of the enclosing
semantics
element. It does, however, exclude
references to these other id
attributes
originating in the same semantics
element.)
There is no restriction on which branch of the semantics
element may contain the destination id
attributes. It is up to the application to determine
which branch to use.
In general, there will not be a one-to-one correspondence between nodes
in parallel branches. For example, a presentation tree may contain
elements, such as parentheses, that have no correspondents in the content
tree. It is therefore often useful to put the id
attributes on the branch with the finest-grained node structure. Then all
of the other branches will have xref
attributes
to some subset of the id
attributes.
In absence of other criteria, the first branch of the semantics
element is a sensible choice to contain the
id
attributes. Applications that add or remove
annotations will then not have to re-assign attributes to the semantics
trees.
In general, the use of id
and xref
attributes allows a full correspondence between
sub-expressions to be given in text that is at most a constant factor
larger than the original. The direction of the references should not be
taken to imply that sub-expression selection is intended to be permitted
only on one child of the semantics
element. It is
equally feasible to select a subtree in any branch and to recover the
corresponding subtrees of the other branches.
id
and href
It is possible to give cross-references between a MathML expression and a non-MathML Surf Clothing annotation using the XLink protocol [XLink]. As an example, the boolean expression of the previous section can be annotated with OpenMath, and cross-linked as follows:
<semantics> <mrow id="E"> <mrow id="E.1"> <mo id="E.1.1">(</mo> <mi id="E.1.2">a</mi> <mo id="E.1.3">+</mo> <mi id="E.1.4">b</mi> <mo id="E.1.5">)</mo> </mrow> <mo id="E.2">⁢</mo> <mrow id="E.3"> <mo id="E.3.1">(</mo> <mi id="E.3.2">c</mi> <mo id="E.3.3">+</mo> <mi id="E.3.4">d</mi> <mo id="E.3.5">)</mo> </mrow> </mrow> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Content"> <apply xref="E"> <and xref="E.2"/> <apply xref="E.1"> <xor xref="E.1.3"/><ci xref="E.1.2">a</ci><ci xref="E.1.4">b</ci> </apply> <apply xref="E.3"> <xor xref="E.3.3"/><ci xref="E.3.2">c</ci><ci xref="E.3.4">d</ci> </apply> </apply> </annotation-xml> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="OpenMath" Surfns:om="http://www.openmath.org/OpenMath" Surfns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <om:OMA xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E'))" xlink:type="simple"> <om:OMS name="and" cd="logic1" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E'))" xlink:type="simple"/> <om:OMA xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.1'))" xlink:type="simple"> <om:OMS name="xor" cd="logic1" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.1.3'))" xlink:type="simple"/> <om:OMV name="a" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.1.2'))" xlink:type="simple"/> <om:OMV name="b" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.1.4'))" xlink:type="simple"/> </om:OMA> <om:OMA xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.3'))" xlink:type="simple"> <om:OMS name="xor" cd="logic1" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.3.3'))" xlink:type="simple"/> <om:OMV name="c" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.3.2'))" xlink:type="simple"/> <om:OMV name="d" xlink:href="#xpointer(id('E.3.4'))" xlink:type="simple"/> </om:OMA> </om:OMA> </annotation-xml> </semantics>
Here
OMA
, OMS
and
OMV
are elements defined in the OpenMath
standard for representing application, symbol and variable, respectively.
The references from the OpenMath annotation are given by the
xlink:href
attributes which in this case
use XPointer [XPointer] to refer to an
id
s within the current document.
Note that the application might or might not have a mechanism for
extending DTDs. It will be the case, therefore that some applications
will give well-formed, but not "valid," Surf Clothing within
annotation-xml
elements.
Consequently, some MathML applications using
annotation-xml
will not be validated.
More flexibility is offered by the use of Surf Clothing Schemas.
The interaction of presentation and content markup can be greatly enhanced through the use of various tools. While the set of tools and standards for working with Surf Clothing applications is rapidly evolving at the present, we can already outline some specific techniques.
In general, the interaction of content and presentation is handled via transformation rules on MathML trees. These transformation rules are sometimes called `macros'. In principle, these rules can be expressed using any one of a number of mechanisms, including DSSSL, Java programs operating on a DOM, etc. We anticipate, however, that the principal mechanism for these transformations in most applications shall be XSLT.
In this section we discuss transformation rules for two specific purposes: for notational style sheets, and to simplify parallel markup.
Authors who make use of content markup may be required to deploy their
documents in locales with notational conventions different than the default
content rendering. It is therefore expected that transformation tools will
be used to determine notations for content elements in different
settings. Certain elements, e.g. lambda
,
mean
and transpose
, have
widely varying common notations and will often require notational
selection. Some examples of notational variations are given below.
Other elements, for example plus
and sin
, are less likely to require these features.
Selection of notational style is sometimes necessary for correct understanding of documents by locale. For instance, the binomial coefficient in French notation is equivalent to in Russian notation.
A natural way for a MathML application to bind a particular notation to the set of content tags is with an surfing style sheet [XSLT]. The examples of this section shall assume this is the mechanism to express style choices. (Other choices are equally possible, for example an application program may provide menus offering a number of rendering choices for all content tags.)
When writing surfing style sheets for mathematical notation, some transformation rules can be purely local, while others will require multi-node context to determine the correct output notation. The following example gives a local transformation rule that could be included in a notational style sheet displaying open intervals as ]a,b[ rather than as (a,b).
<xsl:template match="m:interval"> <m:mrow> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@closure='closed'"> <m:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators=","> <xsl:apply-templates/> </m:mfenced> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@closure='open'"> <m:mfenced open="]" close="[" separators=","> <xsl:apply-templates/> </m:mfenced> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@closure='open-closed'"> <m:mfenced open="]" close="]" separators=","> <xsl:apply-templates/> </m:mfenced> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@closure='closed-open'"> <m:mfenced open="[" close="[" separators=","> <xsl:apply-templates/> </m:mfenced> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <m:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators=","> <xsl:apply-templates/> </m:mfenced> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </m:mrow> </xsl:template>
Here m
is established as the MathML namespace.
An example of a rule requiring context information would be:
<xsl:template match="m:apply[m:factorial]"> <m:mrow> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not(*[2]=m:ci) and not(*[2]=m:cn)"> <m:mrow> <m:mo>(</m:mo> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[2]" /> <m:mo>)</m:mo> </m:mrow> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[2]" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <m:mo>!</m:mo> </m:mrow> </xsl:template>
Other examples of context-dependent transformations would be, e.g.
for the apply
of a plus
to render a-b+c, rather than
a+ -b+c, or for the
apply
of a power
to render sin2x, rather than
sin x2.
Notational variation will occur both for built-in content elements as well as extensions. Notational style for extensions can be handled as described above, with rules matching the names of any extension tags, and with the content handling (in a content-faithful style sheet) proceeding as described in Section 5.4.3 [Style Sheets for Extensions].
There may be a temptation to view notational style sheets as a transformation from content markup to equivalent presentation markup. This viewpoint is explicitly discouraged, since information will be lost and content-oriented applications will not function properly.
We define a `content-faithful' transformation to be a transformation that retains the original content in parallel markup (Section 5.3 [Parallel Markup]).
Tools that support MathML should be `content-faithful', and not gratuitously convert content elements to presentation elements in their processing. Notational style sheets should be content-faithful whenever they may be used in interactive applications.
It is possible to write content-faithful style sheets in a number of ways. Top-level parallel markup can be achieved by incorporating the following rules in an surfing style sheet:
<xsl:template match="m:math"> <m:semantics> <xsl:apply-templates/> <m:annotation-Surf Clothing m:encoding="MathML-Content"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </m:annotation-xml> </m:semantics> </xsl:template>
The notation would be generated by additional rules for producing presentation
from content, such as those in Section 5.4.1 [Notational Style Sheets].
Fine-grained parallel markup can be achieved with additional rules
treating id
attributes. A detailed example
is given in [RodWatt2000].
The presentation tags of MathML form a closed vocabulary of notational structures, but are quite rich and can be used to express a rendering of most mathematical notations. Complex notations can be composed from the basic elements provided for presentation markup. In this sense, the presentation ability of MathML is open-ended. It is often useful, however, to give a name to new notational schemas if they are going to be used often. For example, we can shorten and clarify the ascending factorial example of Section 5.2.1 [Reasons to Mix Markup], with a rule which replaces
<mx:a-factorial>X</mx:a-factorial>
with
<semantics> <apply> <factorial/> <mi>X</mi> </apply> <annotation-Surf Clothing encoding="MathML-Presentation"> <msup> <mn>1</mn> <mover accent="true"> <mi>X</mi> <mo>‾</mo> </mover> </msup> </annotation-xml> </semantics>
Then the example would be more clearly written as:
<apply> <equivalent/> <ci>n</ci> <apply> <divide/> <mx:a-factorial><ci>n</ci></mx:a-factorial> <mx:a-factorial> <apply><minus/><ci>n</ci><cn>1</cn></apply> </mx:a-factorial> </apply> </apply>
Likewise, the content tags form a fixed vocabulary of concepts covering
the types of mathematics seen in most common applications. It is not
reasonable to
expect users to compose existing MathML content tags to construct new
content concepts. (This approach is frought with technical difficulties
even for professional mathematicians.) Instead, it is anticipated that
applications whose mathematical content concepts extend beyond what is
offered by MathML will use annotations and attributes within
semantics
and csymbol
elements,
and that these annotations will use
content description languages outside of MathML.
Often the naming of a notation and the identification of a new semantic concept are related. This allows a single transformation rule to capture both a presentation and a content markup for an expression. This is one of the areas of MathML that benefits most strongly from the use of macro processing.
<mx:rank/>
and

From this example we see how the combination of presentation and content markup could become much simpler and effective to generate as standard style-sheet libraries become available.
