When I start adding crossouts, carries or extra color to MathML addition or subtraction, msline seems to break, is that to be expected?

I found how to create equations with MathML on Drillster. It will be more complicated than expected but it's OK. I don't know if it's the good place to ask this question, but do you know (if it has already been created) where to find the symbols of Real Numbers components, I mean : N, Z, D, Q and R with the double bar like as below (last page of my worksheets on real numbers) - of course I can create those glyphs in a font designed by myself, but I'm sure anybody linked to Maths would need those. Pi is also complicated to be found.

I enjoy that feature so much!
I "sell" (do my best to catch interest for) Maths to middle school students, this will be very useful 🙂

Please, can you stop using these annoying animated gifs in community forums? I think, just static image will be OK (like in Photoshop forum). Not in this subpage, but in main thread. Or am I the only one who finds them annoying?

Most browsers can be set to block GIF animations. Here's one link —

...a SVG in RGB colors... and no way to change that. Half baked.

@Vivek12 Adobe and InDesign product team is well aware of the limitations and issues with Math ML Object being internal SVG content with color defined in RGB.
