22.1.2.10 begChr (Delimiter Beginning Character)

This element specifies the beginning, or opening, delimiter character. Mathematical delimiters are enclosing characters such as parentheses, brackets, and braces. If this element is omitted, the default begChr is '('. In other words, when the element is absent, the default is for the delimiter object beginning character to be Unicode character U+0028 (LEFT PARENTHESIS).

When the element is present and the val attribute is absent, the default of the val attribute is empty which means the delimiter object beginning character is absent.

[Example: In the following example, uses { and } as its enclosing characters:

<m:dPr>
<m:begChr  m:val="{"/>
<m:endChr m:val="}"/>
</m:dPr>

end example]

Parent Elements

dPr (§22.1.2.31)

Attributes

Description

val (value)

Specifies the character used by the parent element. When it is omitted, the parent uses its assigned default.

[Example: Accent object :

<m:accPr>
<m:chr m:val="&#771;"/>
</m:accPr>

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Char simple type (§22.1.3.3).

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_Char) is located in §A.6.1. end note]
