MathMLAnchorElement: hreflang property
The hreflang property of the MathMLAnchorElement interface is a string that is the language of the linked resource.
It reflects the hreflang attribute of the <a> element.
Web browsers and search engines may use this information to understand the language of the linked content better, but they are not required to follow it. The value provided for the hreflang attribute must adhere to the BCP 47 language tag format. If not, it is ignored.
Web browsers do not rely solely on the hreflang attribute after fetching the linked resource. Instead, they use language information directly associated with the resource (e.g., through HTTP headers) to determine its language.
Value
A string that contains a language tag, or the empty string ("") if there is no hreflang element.
Examples
Basic usage
Given this HTML:
<a id="myAnchor" href="https://example.com#examples" hreflang="en-CA"> ... </a>
you can get the hreflang of the anchor like this:
const mathAnchor = document.getElementById("myAnchor");
mathAnchor.hreflang; // returns 'en-CA'
