- Restructered the section about Tabular math.
- Added example of a long calculation spanning many lines. Closes Equations spanning multiple lines #61
- Added description to use scriplevel for nested fractions inside tables. Closes Big MathML expressions inside regular HTML tables appear small #85 Closes Fractions in small font size when they are inside <mtable> #75
…ng many lines In the existing guidelines the sections "Systems of Equations" and "Equations solving notation" are inside the section "Context-based Applications". However, they are listed in the section "When to use MathML <mtable>. I changed the order of some sections. The order is now the following: Basic Markup Structure Token Elements `<mn>` `<mo>` for operators, fences, separators or accents `<mi>` element for variables, functions and units Text inside math expressions `<mtext>` Punctuation General Layout Schemata Grouping mathematical expressions with `<mrow>` Fractions, binomials and other similar layouts with `<mfrac>` `<msqrt>` and `<mroot>` `<mpadded>` and `<mspace>` Visual alignment of expressions Script and Limit Schemata Subscripts and Superscripts, `<msub>`, `<msup>`, `<msubsup>` Underscripts and Overscripts, `<munder>`, `<mover>`, `<munderover>` Prescripts and Postscripts, `<mmultiscripts>` Tabular Math When to use the regular HTML `<table>` When to use the MathML `<mtable>` Attributes `rowspan` and `columnspan` Systems of Equations Equation solving notation Labeling and referencing equations Footnotes in mathematical expressions Context-Based Applications Large operators Inline Block Inline-block Invisible Operators Numbers with Units Fill-in-the-blanks When to use images of mathematical content Crossed out math `<menclose>` Chemistry in MathML
