Use the MathOperator to handle some non-stretchy operators

• Component: MathML
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

This preliminary step for bug 155018. The goal is to get rid of the fact that RenderMathMLToken/RenderMathMLOperator destroy & recreate an anonymous text node. We will thus use MathOperator to handle the following cases:

    // 1) Stretchy and large operators, since they require special painting.
    // 2) The minus sign, since it can be obtained from a hyphen in the DOM.
    // 3) The anonymous operators created by mfenced, since they do not have text content in the DOM.

Note that for 3) this removes support for the edge cases of open/close operators with multiple characters like <mfenced open="ABC" close="DEF">. Not a big problem, since that case is not used at all in practice and we will probably have to remove/rewrite mfenced in the long term.

It looks like we don't need to wait the RenderMathMLRoot refactoring before taking this patch.

I think this change looks good, but I'm not sure if I understand the reasons multiple-character support was removed from mfenced. Could you please explain this a bit more completely?

Otherwise, this looks good.

"To prepare for the removal of ..."

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:11
> +        edge case of mfenced operators with multiple characters.

I'm not sure I understand this change. Are mfenced operators not specified to support multiple characters?
(a) If we are breaking spec here, I don't think we should make this change.
(b) If the spec is unclear, we may be okay.
(c) If the intent is to re-add support for mfenced operators with multiple characters in a future patch, could you please reference the Bugzilla for that change here?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLOperator.cpp:362
> +        return Optional<int>(static_cast<int>(lroundf(m_mathOperator.ascent())));

I think we should use std::lround(m_mathOperator.ascent()). You might need to add an #include <cmath>.
