MathML-core considers all elements and attributes of MathML-core (as listed in section 2.1 of MathML-core) as safe and not needing a sanitziation except the following elements.
We recommend the Sanitzer API to sanitize MathML by keeping all elements and attributes except the follwing:
maction
elements which should, ideally, be replaced by its first child element, andannotation
or annotation-xml
element whose encoding
attribute is of a media-type that is is either absent or is not among the trusted types or if it contains an href
attribute, which should be removed.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:
annotation
and annotation-xml
if their encoding
attribute is not considered of a safe type (e.g. if the encoding is text/plain
then it could be kept). Sanitization should remove these elements.maction
should be replaced by its first child element.
