math
Custom element classes for OMML, the Office Math Markup Language.
Word stores an equation as m:oMath, in the math namespace rather than the
wordprocessing one. It sits among the runs of a paragraph, or inside an m:oMathPara
wrapper when the equation is displayed on a line of its own.
Only enough of OMML is modelled to find an equation and read its text and XML. A full
object model of the notation — fractions, radicals, matrices, delimiters, accents, some
hundreds of elements in ref/xsd/shared-math.xsd — is a substantially larger piece of
work, and one that would not pay for itself until there were something to render it
with.
Bases: BaseOxmlElement
m:oMath element, one equation.
Equation text lives in m:t inside m:r, not in w:t inside w:r, so nothing
that walks the wordprocessing run content finds it.
property
¶
The concatenated text of this equation's m:t descendants.
This is the equation's characters with none of its structure: a fraction reads as its numerator followed by its denominator, a superscript as the base followed by the exponent. It is what a plain-text extraction can offer, and is not a rendering of the equation.
Bases: BaseOxmlElement
m:oMathPara element, a group of equations displayed on their own line.
Holds one or more m:oMath children. Word writes this rather than a bare m:oMath
when the equation is "display" rather than "inline".
