This template builds an alternative form of common fractions. 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; use {{sfrac}} instead. To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{sort}}.

{{frac|A|B|C}}
A BC (integer, numerator and denominator)
<source lang=html4strict>A BC</source>
{{frac|A|B}}
AB (numerator and denominator)
<source lang=html4strict>AB</source>
{{frac|A}}
1A (denominator only)
<source lang=html4strict>1A</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 23“, 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

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

See also

  • {{1/2}} (​12), {{1/3}}, {{2/3}}, {{1/4}}, {{3/4}}, shorthands
  • {{fraction}} (Template:Fraction), only uses precomposed glyphs, which usually is not preferred due to accessibility concerns
  • {{sfrac}} (1/2), displays common fractions using a vinculum, which is preferable for mathematical articles.
