<mfrac>

The MathML <mfrac> element is used to display fractions.

Syntax

<mfrac>numerator denominator</mfrac>

Attributes

bevelled

Specifies the way the fraction is displayed. If true, the fraction line is bevelled, which means that numerator and denominator are displayed side by side and separated by a slash (/). Otherwise, if set to false (which is the default value), numerator and denominator are on top of each other.

denomalign

The alignment of the denominator under the fraction. Possible values are: left, center (default), and right.
This attribute is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use CSS text-align instead.

displaystyle

A Boolean value specifying whether more vertical space is used for displayed equations or, if set to false, a more compact layout is used to display formulas. The main effect is that larger versions of operators are displayed, when displaystyle is set to true. See also largeop and movablelimits on <mo>.
