Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

The templates {{1/2}}, {{1/3}}, {{2/3}}, {{1/4}} and {{3/4}} use HTML markup to create large, readable, common fractions "​¹⁄₂, ​¹⁄₃, ​²⁄₃, ​¹⁄₄, ​³⁄₄", as opposed to the often illegible "½, ⅓, ⅔, ¼, ¾" or horizontal "1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4". They are intended as concise, easily interpreted alternatives to {{frac|1|2}}, {{frac|1|3}}, {{frac|2|3}}, {{frac|1|4}}, {{frac|3|4}}.

• Bake for {{1/2}} hour.

generates:

• Bake for ​¹⁄₂ hour.

without requiring the use of bulky HTML markup.

Please note that these templates do not handle preceding integers (or succeeding units) and the spacing in between, use {{frac}} for that:

• Bake for {{frac|2|1|2}} hours.
• Bake for ​2 ¹⁄₂ hours.
