This is a documentation subpage for Template:1/2.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.

As with {{frac}}, these templates should not be used in science or mathematical articles.

 === Usage ===
-The template uses [[HTML]] markup to create a large, readable, and stacked "{{1/2}}", as opposed to the often illegible "½" or horizontal "1/2". "½" may be particularly illegible to those with poor vision. It is intended as a concise, easily-interpreted alternative to <code><nowiki>{{Frac|2|3}}</nowiki></code>.
+The templates {{tl|1/2}}, {{tl|1/3}}, {{tl|2/3}}, {{tl|1/4}} and {{tl|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 "[[one half|1/2]], 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4". They are intended as concise, easily interpreted alternatives to <code><nowiki>{{frac|1|2}}, {{frac|1|3}}, {{frac|2|3}}, {{frac|1|4}}, {{frac|3|4}}</nowiki></code>.
-* Bake for 1<code><nowiki>{{1/2}}</nowiki></code> hour.
+* <code><nowiki>Bake for {{1/2}} hour.</nowiki></code>
 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 {{tl|frac}} for that:
-* Bake for 8{{1/2}} hour.
+* <code><nowiki>Bake for {{frac|2|1|2}} hours.</nowiki></code>
+* Bake for {{frac|2|1|2}} hours.
+As with {{tl|frac}}, these templates should not be used in science or mathematical articles.
