All,
How can I extend the main fraction bar in the following expression,
making it a tad longer?
\placeformula
\startformula
\dfrac{\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}}{\dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}}.
\stopformula

Just add a bit of whitespace to the right and left: \dfrac{\,\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}\,} {\,\dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}\,} You may want to add a \vphantom command as well to separate the fractions from the main bar a bit more. \dfrac{\,\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}\,}{\,\dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}\,}. > \placeformula > \startformula > \dfrac{\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}}{\dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}}. > \stopformula ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Anything similar in Context? m-newmat.tex defines genfrac. \usemodule[newmat] \def\bigfrac{\genfrac{}{}{2pt}\displaystyle} \starttext \startformula \bigfrac{100}{200} \text{ vs } \frac{100}{200} \stopformula \stoptext Adjust 2pt to something that suits you.

Is this genfrac identical to the one in ams definitions? AFAIK, yes. The syntax of genfrac is \genfrac{left-delim}{right-delim}{bar-thickness}{mathstyle}{numberator}{denominator} in both context and ams. One difference is that in amsmath, for mathstyle you can use integer vales 0-3 as a shortcut for \displaystyle, textstyle, scriptstyle and scriptscriptscript style. Context does not follow this, which I think is a good thing.

If you use that a lot, something like \def\mainfrac#1#2{\frac{\ #1\ }{\ #2\ }} might be helpful. Mojca ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
