This is an abstract base type used in Stencila Schema for mathematical content.

It exists to provide a shared representation for inline and block math, including source math code, math language, authorship, provenance, and compilation-related metadata such as MathML and diagnostics. This keeps mathematical content aligned across authoring, rendering, and interchange workflows.

Key properties include code, mathLanguage, compilationDigest, compilationMessages, mathml, and images.

Analogues

The following external types, elements, or nodes are similar to a Math:

MathML: Close interchange analogue for mathematical notation, though Stencila stores source math plus compiled MathML and related metadata.

Pandoc Math: Close Pandoc analogue for shared mathematical content across inline and display contexts.

Properties

The Math type has these properties:

Name	Description	Type	Inherited from
`code`	The code of the equation in the `mathLanguage`.	`Cord`	-
`mathLanguage`	The language used for the equation e.g tex, mathml, asciimath.	`String`	-
`authors`	The authors of the math.	`Author`*	-
`provenance`	A summary of the provenance of the math.	`ProvenanceCount`*	-
`compilationDigest`	A digest of the `code` and `mathLanguage`.	`CompilationDigest`	-
`compilationMessages`	Messages generated while parsing and compiling the math expression.	`CompilationMessage`*	-
`mathml`	The MathML transpiled from the `code`.	`String`	-
`images`	Images of the math.	`ImageObject`*	-
`id`	The identifier for this item.	`String`	`Entity`
