Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The math-shift property indicates whether superscripts inside MathML formulas should be raised by a normal or compact shift.
Syntax
/* Keyword values */ math-shift: normal; math-shift: compact; /* Global values */ math-shift: inherit; math-shift: initial; math-shift: revert; math-shift: revert-layer; math-shift: unset; Values
normal-
The initial value, indicates normal rendering. Superscripts in MathML formulas use the superscriptShiftUp parameter from the OpenType MATH table.
compact-
Indicates compact rendering. Superscripts in MathML formulas use the superscriptShiftUpCramped parameter from the OpenType MATH table, which is generally smaller.
Formal definition
| Initial value | normal |
|---|---|
| Applies to | all elements |
| Inherited | yes |
| Computed value | as specified |
| Animation type | Not animatable |

Examples

math { math-shift: compact; font-size: 64pt; } .normal-shift { math-shift: normal; } .compact-shift { math-shift: compact; } MathML
The following MathML displays two versions of "x squared" using a font with an OpenType MATH table. Browser implementing the math-shift property should raise the superscripts using slightly different shifts.
<math> <msup class="normal-shift"> <mi>x</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <msup class="compact-shift"> <mi>x</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </math> Specifications
