<mspace>

The MathML <mspace> element is used to display a blank space, whose size is set by its attributes.

Attributes

class, id, style

Provided for use with stylesheets.

depth

The desired depth (below the baseline) of the space (see length for values and units).

height

The desired height (above the baseline) of the space (see length for values and units).

linebreak

Indicates a line-break at the space. Possible values: auto (default value), newline, nobreak, goodbreak, badbreak.
Starting with MathML 3, it is preferred to use <mo> to control linebreaking.

mathbackground

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

width

The desired width of the space (see length for values and units).

Note that some common attributes like mathcolor, mathvariant or dir have no effect on <mspace>.

Examples

<math>

  <mspace depth="40px" height="20px" />

  <mspace width="100px" />

</math>
