Changing Font Size with "mstyle"

Q

How to change the default font size with <mstyle>?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

In a Web browser, the default font size of the <math> element is inherited from it's parent element.

You can use the <mstyle> element to change the default font size as shown in this example:

Using default font size:
<math>
  <mi>r</mi><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mi>d</mi><mn>2</mn></mfrac>
</math>
     $r = \frac{d}{2}$ 

Changing default font size to 32px:
<math><mstyle fontsize="32px">
  <mi>r</mi><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mi>d</mi><mn>2</mn></mfrac>
</mstyle></math>
     $r = \frac{d}{2}$

⇒ scriptlevel="0" on "mfrace"
