This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Sfrac/styles.css

This template builds an alternative form of common fractions, using a vinculum (horizontal line), for scientific and mathematical text. 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 substitute it.

((sfrac|A|B|C)): A+B/C (integer, numerator and denominator)
((sfrac|B|C)): B/C (numerator and denominator)
((sfrac|C)): 1/C (denominator only)

Examples

1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1/6, 5/6, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, 1/16, 3/16, 5/16, 7/16, 9/16, 11/16, 13/16, 15/16, 22/7, 1+1/16, 16+2/3,2 $π$ /a²b

((BScvt)), for two distances
((su)) (^superscript
_subscript text) – to align both b=subscript & p=superscript
((sub)) (_subscript text) – to show a subscript
((sup)) (^superscript text) – to show a superscript
((sup sub)) (text^sup
_sub) – for both 1=superscript & 2=subscript
