<ITEM> Math Array Item

Definition:

The <ITEM> element is used for items within a row of the ARRAY element. The end tag </ITEM> can always be left out.

Attributes:

ALIGN
By default expressions in items are centered horizontally. This can be altered by the COLDEF attribute on the parent ARRAY element, and overridden on a per item basis with the ALIGN attribute. The permitted values are: LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT.

COLSPAN
This can be used to provide a single item which spans several columns. The attribute value is a positive integer and defaults to one.

ROWSPAN
This can be used to provide a single item which spans several rows. The attribute value is a positive integer and defaults to one. It can be used together with the COLSPAN attribute.
