This is a documentation subpage for Template:Frac. It may contain 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 should not be used in science or mathematical articles, per MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH#Fractions. Use {{sfrac}} instead.
The template takes one, two, or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order. Please do not subst:
itute it. This template should not be used in science or mathematical articles, per MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH#Fractions.
{{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>
Examples
- Numbers
- 1⁄2 1⁄3 2⁄3 1⁄4 3⁄4 1⁄5 2⁄5 3⁄5 4⁄5 1⁄6 5⁄6 1⁄7 2⁄7 3⁄7 4⁄7 5⁄7 6⁄7 1⁄8 3⁄8 5⁄8 7⁄8 1⁄16 3⁄16 5⁄16 7⁄16 9⁄16 11⁄16 13⁄16 15⁄16
- Units
- m⁄s km⁄h kg·m⁄s² 1⁄s Mbit⁄s
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 {{sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{sort}}.
- {{1/2}}, {{1/3}}, {{2/3}}, {{1/4}}, {{3/4}}
- {{fraction}}, only uses precomposed glyphs
- {{sfrac}}, displays common fractions using a vinculum which is preferable for mathematical articles.
