Template:Frac/doc

This template builds nicer-looking 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. Please don't substitute it.

{{frac|A|B|C}}

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

A<s style="display:none">+</s><small><sup>B</sup><big>⁄</big><sub>C</sub></small>

{{frac|A|B}}

​^A⁄_B (numerator and denominator)

<small><sup>A</sup><big>⁄</big><sub>B</sub></small>

{{frac|A}}

​¹⁄_A (denominator only)

<small><sup>1</sup><big>⁄</big><sub>A</sub></small>

Examples:

​¹⁄₂ ​¹⁄₃ ​¹⁄₄ ​¹⁄₈ ​¹⁄₂ ​¹⁄₃ ​²⁄₃ ​¹⁄₄ ​²⁄₄ ​³⁄₄ ​¹⁄₈ ​²⁄₈ ​³⁄₈ ​⁴⁄₈ ​⁵⁄₈ ​⁶⁄₈ ​⁷⁄₈ ​¹⁄₁₆ ​³⁄₁₆ ​⁵⁄₁₆ ​⁷⁄₁₆ ​⁹⁄₁₆ ​¹¹⁄₁₆ ​¹³⁄₁₆ ​¹⁵⁄₁₆ ​⁵⁄₃₂ ​²⁷⁄₃₂

To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{sort}}.
