Deactivation and customization

Users who prefer to see fractions inline, e.g. „1 2⁄3“ instead of „Page Template:Fraction/styles.css must have content model "Sanitized CSS" for TemplateStyles (current model is "plain text").1+23, 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*/;
}

These selectors and properties can also be used as a base for custom rendering of vulgar fractions:

/* 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;
}

Notes

  • &frasl; may be used to print out the fraction glyph " ⁄ "
