inlinebrøk

Inlinebrøk refers to a fraction displayed horizontally within a line of text, as opposed to a stacked fraction that takes up vertical space. This is often achieved by using a forward slash (/) to separate the numerator and the denominator. For example, instead of writing the fraction one-half in a stacked format, an inlinebrøk would be represented as 1/2.

The use of inlinebrøk is common in contexts where vertical space is limited, such as plain text documents, emails, or simple text-based interfaces. It allows for the clear representation of fractional values without altering the line height of the surrounding text. This format is widely understood and can be easily typed using standard keyboard characters. While it might be less visually distinct than a stacked fraction, it serves the purpose of conveying numerical relationships efficiently in a linear format. Many software applications and websites automatically recognize and sometimes even render inlinebrøk in a more visually appealing stacked format when the content is displayed in a richer formatting environment.
