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

Attributes

This element’s attributes include the global MathML attributes as well as the following attributes:

• depth
  • : A {{cssxref("length-percentage")}}  indicating the desired depth (below the baseline) of the space.
• height
  • : A {{cssxref("length-percentage")}}  indicating the desired height (above the baseline) of the space.
• width
  • : A {{cssxref("length-percentage")}}  indicating the desired width of the space.

[!NOTE] For the depth, height, width attributes, some browsers may also accept legacy MathML lengths.

Examples

<math display="block">
  <mn>1</mn>
  <mspace depth="40px" height="20px" width="100px" />
  <mn>2</mn>
</math>

mspace {
