Text Fraction \tfrac

When to use Text Fraction

Forces text-style fraction sizing. In source, start from the exact \tfrac command instead of imitating the rendered glyph with Unicode characters or manual spacing. This keeps the expression editable and gives the renderer enough structure to apply mathematical spacing correctly.

Syntax

\tfrac

The documented syntax belongs to amsmath. Keep every required argument, brace pair, and environment boundary intact when moving the command between an editor, Markdown processor, notebook, or publishing system.

Example

\tfrac12

Rendered output

compact fraction

Copy and compatibility checks

• Copy \tfrac exactly; changing its case or removing a leading backslash can turn it into plain text.
• Confirm that the destination loads amsmath before relying on this command.
• Render the example once, then inspect grouping, limits, scripts, and spacing before publishing.
