Special notations

(Excerpt from "The MathML Handbook" by Pavi Sandhu)

The menclose element renders its content inside an enclosing notation, determined by the value of its notation attribute. This attribute can take three values, longdiv, actuarial, and radical, each corresponding to a specific type of notation. The following example shows what the rendering for notation="longdiv" looks like:

$Presentation markup: equation 20$

<mrow>
  <mn>37</mn>
  <menclose notation="longdiv">
    <mn>1456</mn>
  </menclose>
</mrow>
