L.6.1.1 Accent Object

The accent object is used to represent any baseline text having a combining diacritical mark placed above the base. The accent has only one child, the base element. The accent mark itself is stored as a property.

For example, consider the following letters having diacritical marks:

The XML for the last letter in this example is:

<m:acc>
  <m:accPr>
    <m:chr m:val="⃗" />
  </m:accPr>
  <m:e>
    <m:r>
      <m:t>a</m:t>
    </m:r>
  </m:e>
</m:acc>

In this example, the only difference in the XML representations of these letters is the accent character.
