HTML5 | MathML <mtable> Tag

Last Updated : 22 Aug, 2021

The MathML <mtable> tag is used to create table or the matrices in HTML5. This tag is similar to the normal HTML <table> tag. The <table> has the <tr>, <td> and <td> tag, similarly it has the <mtr>, <mtd> and <mtd> tag, that act as same as those. But we don't use the <table> and other sub tags to create the matrices. Here <mtable> is useful to create matrices. Because the MathML is all about the mathematical expression representation in HTML.


Syntax:  

<mtable attributes="value"> child elements </mtable>


Attributes: It accepts some attributes which are listed below:  

  • align: This attribute holds the alignment of the tables. Possible values are axis, baseline, bottom, center and top.
  • class|id|style: This attribute is used to hold the styles of the child elements.
  • columnalign: This attribute holds the horizontal alignment of the table cells. Possible values are left, right and center.
  • columnlines: This attribute holds the border style value for the column-lines. Possible values are none, solid and dashed.
  • displaystyle: It is a Boolean value attribute that defines whether more vertical space is used for displayed equations or more compact layout is used to display formulas.
  • frame: This attribute holds the border value for the entire table. Possible values are none, solid and dashed.
  • framespacing: This attribute defines the space between the table and the frame.
  • href: This attribute is used to hold any hyperlink to a specified URL.
  • mathbackground: This attribute holds the value of the math expressions background color.
  • mathcolor: This attribute holds the color of the math expressions.
  • rowalign: This attribute holds vertical alignment of the table cells. Possible values are top, bottom and center.
  • rowlines: This attribute holds the row borders value that multiple value can be separated by using a space can consider also. Possible values are none, solid and dashed.
  • width: This attribute holds the width value length.


Note: There are few more attribute but those are not implemented yet like rowspacing, side, minlabelspacing, groupalign etc.
