We recommend the Sanitzer API to sanitize MathML by keeping all elements and attributes except the follwing:

Detailed Version

MathML-core considers the following elements and attributes of MathML-core as safe and not needing sanitization:

Safe “as-is” Elements of MathML-core: math, merror, mfrac, mi, mmultiscripts, mn, mo, mover, mpadded, mphantom, mprescripts, mroot, mrow, ms, mspace, msqrt, mstyle, msub, msubsup, msup, mtable, mtd, mtext, mtr, munder, munderover, semantics

Attributes of MathML-core: dir, displaystyle, mathbackground, mathcolor, mathsize, scriptlevel, encoding, display, linethickness, intent and arg; on mo elements: form, fence, separator, lspace, rspace, stretchy, symmetric, maxsize, minsize, largeop, movablelimits; on mpadded elements: width, height, depth, lspace, voffset, on mspace elements: width, height, depth, on munderover elements accent and accentunder; on mtd elements columnspan and rowspan.

Moreover, the following attributes have their syntax and semantics specified in the HTML specification. The sanitizer behaviour on these attributes should be as is done on HTML elements: on*, id, class, style, data-*, autofocus, nonce,tabindex (for example any javascript should be removed).

The elements of MathML-core which need treatment by the sanitizers are the following:
