This template should not be substituted .
This template should not be used in science or mathematical articles, use ((sfrac )) instead.
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 data-sort-value="X.YYY"
where X.YYY
is a rounded decimal equivalent. See Help:Sorting for more information and options. Inside citation templates, use the cleaner ((citefrac )).
((fraction|A|B|C))
A+ B ⁄C (integer, numerator and denominator)
((fraction|A|B))
A ⁄B (numerator and denominator)
((fraction|A))
1 ⁄A (denominator only)
((fraction))
⁄ (fraction slash only)

Template parameters[ Edit template data ]
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

((1/2 )) (1 ⁄2 ), ((1/3 )), ((2/3 )), ((1/4 )), ((3/4 )) – shorthands that use this template
((sfrac )) (1 / 2 ) – displays common fractions using a vinculum (horizontal line), for scientific and mathematical text
((su )) (superscript subscript text) – to align both b=subscript & p=superscript
((sub )) (Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil). text) – to show a subscript
((sup )) (superscript text) – to show a superscript
