<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
This template builds an alternative form of [[common fraction]]s. It 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''' <code>subst:</code>itute it. This template should '''not''' be used in mathematical articles, per [[MOS:MATH#Fractions]].
; <code><nowiki>{{frac|A|B|C}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A|B|C}} (integer, numerator and denominator)
: <source lang=html4strict><span class="frac">A<sup>&nbsp;B</sup>⁄<sub>C</sub></span></source>
; <code><nowiki>{{frac|A|B}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A|B}} (numerator and denominator)
: <source lang=html4strict><span class="frac"><sup>A</sup>⁄<sub>B</sub></span></source>
; <code><nowiki>{{frac|A}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A}} (denominator only)
: <source lang=html4strict><span class="frac"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>A</sub></span></source>

;Numbers: {{frac|2}} {{frac|3}} {{frac|2|3}} {{frac|4}} {{frac|3|4}} {{frac|5}} {{frac|2|5}} {{frac|3|5}} {{frac|4|5}} {{frac|6}} {{frac|5|6}} {{frac|7}} {{frac|2|7}} {{frac|3|7}} {{frac|4|7}} {{frac|5|7}} {{frac|6|7}} {{frac|8}} {{frac|3|8}} {{frac|5|8}} {{frac|7|8}} {{frac|16}} {{frac|3|16}} {{frac|5|16}} {{frac|7|16}} {{frac|9|16}} {{frac|11|16}} {{frac|13|16}} {{frac|15|16}}
;Units: {{frac|m|s}} {{frac|km|h}} {{frac|kg·m|s²}} {{frac|s}} {{frac|Mbit|s}}

== Deactivation and customization ==
Users who prefer to see fractions inline, e.g. „1&nbsp;2⁄3“ instead of „{{frac|1|2|3}}, can turn off the effects of this template by adding the following code to [[Help:User style|their user stylesheet]]:
<source lang="css">.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*/;
}</source><!--untested-->
These selectors and properties can also be used as a base for custom rendering of vulgar fractions:
<source lang="css">/* Stacked Fractions (does not work with three parameters currently) */
.frac 
{
  display: inline-block;
  margin-bottom: -0.3em;
  vertical-align: 0.8em;
  line-height: 1.2em;
  text-align: center;
  visibility: hidden;/*hide fraction slash*/
}
.frac>sup /* numerator */,
.frac>sub /* denominator */
{
  vertical-align: inherit;
  font-size: 85%;
  line-height: inherit;
  position: static;
  visibility: show;
}
.frac>sup::after
{
  content: "\A" /* a line break */
}
.frac>sub 
{
  text-decoration: overline;
}</source><!--untested-->

To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{tl|sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{tl|sort}}.

*{{tl|1/2}}, {{tl|1/3}}, {{tl|2/3}}, {{tl|1/4}}, {{tl|3/4}}
*{{tl|fraction}}, only uses precomposed glyphs
*{{tl|fracText}}, use inline fractions, for use in mathematics articles
