Fraction Characters in HTML - 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 in HTML? (Posted by EJM)
I think you use the special code &frac followed by the two mumbers (one on top, one on bottom), for example:
½
Should give you:
½
If I got it right, it should work above. I'm not sure about fractions with more than 2 numbers though..

Is there a way to get the browser to display fractions? I know that some fonts have special fraction characters, but I want to use a universal font.

Thanks for that John. I have been trying to find out the same thing as EMJ for a while now. In the past I have just used 1/2 but ½ is much better.

Sure thing.
I agree, the ½ looks more readable as a fraction.
