1⁄2
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))
