I have an element of initially unknown width, specifically a MathJax equation supplied by the user. I have the element set as inline-block to ensure that the width of the element fits its contents and so that it has a defined width. However, this prevents traditional methods of centering. That is, the following does not work:
.equationElement{ display: inline-block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}And the solution cannot be:
.equationElement{ display: block; width: 100px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}Because I have no idea what the width should actually be beforehand and if the user clicks on the equation, I need the entire equation highlighted, so I cannot set the width to 0. Does anyone have a solution to centering this equation?
