Template:Documentation subpage 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+B⁄C (integer, numerator and denominator)
{{frac|A|B}}- A⁄B (numerator and denominator)
{{frac|A}}- 1⁄A (denominator only)
{{frac}}- ⁄ (fraction slash only)
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:
.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 */;
}
Code
<span class="frac nowrap">{{#if:{{{3|}}}
|{{{1}}}<span class="visualhide"> </span><sup>{{{2}}}</sup>⁄<sub>{{{3}}}</sub>
|{{#if:{{{2|}}}
|<sup>{{{1}}}</sup>⁄<sub>{{{2}}}</sub>
|{{#if:{{{1|}}}
|<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>{{{1}}}</sub>
|⁄
}}
}}
}}</span>
Notes
{{frac}}or⁄may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " ⁄ ".
Parameters
A template for displaying common fractions of the form int+num/den nicely. It supports 0–3 anonymous parameters with positional meaning.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| leftmost part | 1 | Denominator if only parameter supplied. Numerator if 2 parameters supplied. Integer if 3 parameters supplied. If no parameter is specified the template will render a fraction slash only. | Line | optional |
| middle-right part | 2 | Denominator if 2 parameters supplied. Numerator if 3 parameters supplied. | Line | optional |
| rightmost part | 3 | Denominator, always. | Line | optional |
