22.1.2.59 lMargin

This element specifies the left margin for math, in twips. If this element is omitted, no left margin is used. In other words, when the element is absent, the default value of the option is 0.

When the element is present and the val attribute is absent, the default of the val attribute is 1440 (or 1 inch).

Math margins are added to the paragraph settings for margins. If the sum of lMargin and rMargin exceed the width available, lMargin should be ignored. [Example: The following XML demonstrates an lMargin setting of 1".

<m:mathPr>
  <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/>
  <m:brkBin m:val="before"/>
  <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/>
  <m:smallFrac m:val="0"/>
  <m:dispDef/>
  <m:lMargin m:val="1440"/>
  <m:rMargin m:val="0"/>
  <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/>
  <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/>
  <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/>
  <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/>
</m:mathPr>

end example]
