LimitsPositioning

LimitsPositioning is an option for cells that determines whether to change the positioning of underscripts and overscripts in the way conventional for limits.

UnderoverscriptBox[x, y, z, LimitsPositioning Rule False] is always displayed with explicit underscripts and overscripts, as .
UnderoverscriptBox[x, y, z, LimitsPositioning Rule True] is displayed as when large, and when small.
• The form is used when the box appears in a subscript or other script, or inline in a piece of text.
• With the default setting LimitsPositioning Rule Automatic, the display of UnderoverscriptBox[x, y, z] depends on x. If x is \[Sum], \[Product] or another form conventionally displayed with limits, then LimitsPositioningRuleTrue is effectively used. Otherwise, LimitsPositioning Rule False is used.
LimitsPositioningTokens is a Cell option that can be set to a list of forms for which LimitsPositioning Rule True should be used.

DiacriticalPositioning

• DiacriticalPositioning is an option for cells that determines how close diacritical characters are drawn to the base character.

• With the setting DiacriticalPositioning Rule True, characters that occur in an overscript position are drawn relatively close to the base character .
• With the setting DiacriticalPositioning Rule False, characters that occur in an overscript position are drawn at a greater separation from the base character.
• With the default setting DiacriticalPositioning Rule Automatic, a selected set of characters, which are normally used as diacritical marks, are by default drawn close to the base character, when used in an overscript. All other characters are drawn at a greater separation from the base character.

MultilineFunction

• MultilineFunction is an option for cells that determines if an overscript is split to the next line if it is too long to fit on one line.

• With the default setting MultilineFunction Rule Automatic, an overscript may be reformatted to extend across two or more lines. The point at which the line break is applied is indicated by a Continuation symbol.
• With the setting MultilineFunction Rule None, no reformatting is done.
