About the test scope

Syntax#

\overundersetm{a}math contentm{b}math contentm{c}math content

Argspec m m m — three mandatory arguments. Reading argspecs

Examples#

\overunderset abc

In TeXForm#

TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.

Equivalent forms#

  • \overset{#1}{\underset{#2}{#3}}approximate

    Often visually similar for simple inputs, but MathJax parses this command as a single munderover node while the nested form produces nested mover/munder structure.

  • \mathop{#3}\limits_{#2}^{#1}approximate

    Close when the base should behave like an operator with limits; this form forces operator semantics and can differ in spacing/classification from \overunderset.
