| File:Edit-copy green.svg | 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 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}}- APage Template:Screen reader-only/styles.css has no content. B⁄C (integer, numerator and denominator)
<span class="frac">A<sup> B</sup>⁄<sub>C</sub></span>
{{frac|A|B}}- A⁄B (numerator and denominator)
<span class="frac"><sup>A</sup>⁄<sub>B</sub></span>
{{frac|A}}- 1⁄A (denominator only)
<span class="frac"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>A</sub></span>
{{frac}}- ⁄ (fraction slash only)
<span class="frac">⁄</span>
Examples
- Numbers

- 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 „1Page Template:Screen reader-only/styles.css has no content. 2⁄3“, can turn off the effects of this template by adding the following code to their user stylesheet:
.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*/;
}
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.
