direct sub-expression (of a mathML expression(of

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

directly contained (element A ined

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A is a child of B (as defined in XML), in other words A is contained in B, but not in any element that is itself contained in B.
document object model

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A model in which the document or Web page is treated as an object repository. This model is developed by the DOM Working Group (DOM) of the W3C.
document style semantics and specification language (DSSSL)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A method of specifying the formatting and transformation of SGML documents. ISO International Standard 10179:1996.
document type definition (DTD)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

In SGML or XML, a DTD is a formal definition of the elements and the relationship among the data elements (the structure) for a particular type of document.
embedded object

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

Embedded objects such as Java applets, Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) objects (e.g. ActiveX Controls and ActiveX Document embeddings), and plug-ins that reside in an HTML document.
embellished operator

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

An operator, including any `embellishment' it may have, such as superscripts or style information. The `embellishment' is represented by a layout schema that contains the operator itself. Defined precisely in Section 3.2.5 [Operator, Fence, Separator or Accent (mo)].
entity reference

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A sequence of ASCII characters of the form &name; representing some other data, typically a non-ASCII character, a sequence of characters, or an external source of data, e.g. a file containing a set of standard entity definitions such as ISO Latin 1.
extensible markup language (XML)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A simple dialect of SGML intended to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web.
extensible style language (XSL)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A style language for XML developed by W3C. See XSL FO and XSLT.
fences

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

In typesetting, bracketing tokens like parentheses, braces, and brackets, which usually appear in matched pairs.
font

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A particular collection of glyphs of a typeface of a given size, weight and style, for example `Times Roman Bold 12 point'.
glyph

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

The actual shape (bit pattern, outline) of a character. ISO/IEC Standard 9541-1:1991 defines a glyph as a recognizable abstract graphic symbol that is independent of any specific design.
height

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

(of a box) The distance from the baseline of the box to the top edge of the box.
indirectly contained

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A is contained in B, but not directly contained in B.
inferred mrow

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

An mrow element that is `inferred' around the contents of certain layout schemata when they have other than exactly one argument. Defined precisely in Section 3.1.6 [Summary of Presentation Elements]
instance of mathML

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

A single instance of the top level element of MathML, and/or a single instance of embedded MathML in some other data format.
inverse function

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)

lambda expression

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21)
