css trick to provide basic rendering of 'content elements' ?

[f***@gmail.com]

Any CSS stylesheet into my xhtml I can include to provide some basic
rendering for content elements in MathML with Mozilla?

I am not working on presentation issue now so I will stick my
information with content element only. But it will be nice if I can
display those content information in the browser in some meaningful
(not necessary good looking) way ...

does exactly that although as you see by the name the css is somewhat
tuned to opera.

In mozilla you'll get better rendering by using XSL (mathml.xsl)
as in
http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL

BTW, note that if you envision putting your Content Markup on the web,
you might as well use "Parallel Markup", i.e., both Presentation Markup
*and* Content Markup, using the <semantics> tag. For example, x^2 would be:

<math display="inline"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<semantics>
<!-- first child: Presentation Markup that you want -->
<msup>
<mi>x</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
<!-- second child: Content Markup that you want -->
<annotation-xml encoding="MathML-Content">
<apply>
<power/>
<ci>x</ci>
<cn>2</cn>
</apply>
</annotation-xml>
</semantics>
</math>

This has a number of advantages:
- spec-compliant (it works out-of-the-box and saves you from any trick)
- self-contained (you don't have external dependencies that you also
have to keep up-to-date).
- full-control (you decide the look and can tune as you prefer)
- future-proof (it won't break due to a mixup of versions or some such,
re:dependencies).

The downside is the extra size, but MathML is already verbose anyway.
And judging from real sites that use Parallel Markup, the tradeoff seems
worth the extra, e.g., http://cnx.rice.edu/content/m10276/latest/
