MathML element reference

This is an alphabetical list of MathML elements. All of them implement the {{domxref("MathMLElement")}} class.

[!NOTE] As explained on the main MathML page, MDN uses MathML Core as a reference specification. However, legacy features that are still implemented by some browsers are also documented. You can find further details for these and other features in MathML 4.
