Template:Frac/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Frac. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template builds an alternative form of common fractions. It takes one, two or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order.

{{Frac|A|B|C}}

A ^B⁄_C (integer, numerator and denominator)

<source lang=html4strict>A ^B⁄_C</source>

{{Frac|A|B}}

^A⁄_B (numerator and denominator)

<source lang=html4strict>^A⁄_B</source>

{{Frac|A}}

¹⁄_A (denominator only)

<source lang=html4strict>¹⁄_A</source>

{{Frac}}

⁄ (fraction slash only)

<source lang=html4strict>⁄</source>

Deactivation and customization

Users who prefer to see fractions inline, e.g. „1 2⁄3“ instead of „1 ²⁄₃, can turn off the effects of this template by adding the following code to their user stylesheet: <source lang="css">.frac>sup /* numerator */, .frac>sub /* denominator */ {

 vertical-align: inherit/* or baseline*/;
 font-size: inherit/* or 1em*/;
 line-height: inherit/* or 1*/;
 position: inherit/* or static*/;

}</source>

Notes

• ⁄ may be used to print out the fraction glyph " ⁄ "

To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{Tlx|Sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{Tlx|Sort}}. *{{Tlx|1/2}}, {{Tlx|1/3}}, {{Tlx|2/3}}, {{Tlx|1/4}}, {{Tlx|3/4}} *{{Tlx|Fraction}}, only uses precomposed glyphs *{{Tlx|Sfrac}}, displays common fractions using a vinculum
