The ABOVE Tag

The syntax of the ABOVE tag is as follows:

<ABOVE SYM=name>expr1</ABOVE><SUP>expr2</SUP>

The value of the SYM parameter is an entity name, without the leading & and trailing semicolon. The SYM parameter is optional.

Note: If there is a space between the </ABOVE> tag and the <SUP> tag, expr2 will be interpreted ad an ordinary superscript, and not overset text. In addition, the entire SUP expression is optional.

A common use of the ABOVE tag is illustrated below, using the "curly upper brace" entity, cub.

Example

<ABOVE SYM=cub>x_α_ + x_β_ + &cdots; +
x_ω_</ABOVE><SUP>n &sp; <T>terms</T></SUP>

Output:

Example

H^2^ &otimes <BT>R</BT> <ABOVE>&lrarrow;</ABOVE>
<SUP><BOX SIZE=SMALLER><T>eval</T></BOX></SUP> S^1^

Output:
