| 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. 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}}- 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
- 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 „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 " ⁄ "

- {{fraction}} (1⁄2), only uses precomposed glyphs, which usually is not preferred due to accessibility concerns
- {{sfrac}} (Template:Sfrac), displays common fractions using a vinculum, which is preferable for mathematical articles.
