<fillin/>, , fill-in blank.
A “fill in the blank” blank. May be used in normal text or within mathematics contexts. The
@characters attribute may be used to hint at how long the line will be. Here we have set @characters to the value 5.If used inside math, a
@fill attribute (in lieu of @characters) may be some string of math that will be used to determine width, height, and depth of the blank. In text, the default value of 10 is used for @characters. In math, the default value of XXX is used for @fill.If used in normal text, a
@rows and/or @cols attribute may be present, each a positive integer. When either is greater than one, there will be an indication that the expected content to fill in the blank is a @rows × @cols array.<ie/>, <eg/>, <ca/>, <vs/>, <etc/>, i.e., e.g., ca., vs., etc..
