Hi,
How can I make the subfraction in the denominator of a fraction appear
smaller even though the nominator is very small? This gives basically
three equally long division lines:
\startfomula
\frac{\mu_{Z}}{\frac{\sqrt{\VAR{Z}}{\sqrt{N_{\text{segments}}}}}
\stopformula

Sorry, I meant to write numerator. (In Dutch it is teller/noemer ;))

Hoi Sander,

The fraction line of a nested fractions is in fact shorter than that
of its parent fraction, but by a very small amout. This seems to be
the standard behaviour -- I tried the formula in LaTeX, and the
difference is just as small.
I agree with you that it would be nice if the difference were a bit
bigger in the case of continued fractions, but I suspect that would be
hard to automate. Anyway: below is a quick hack for manual adjustment.
(I've simplified your formula somewhat -- the one in your mail threw
some syntax errors to do with {} nesting, and the square roots made it
harder to make out the fraction line.)
Cheers,
Sietse

ok, a new feature for SB:
\definemathfraction
[wfrac]
[margin=.25em]
\starttext
\startformula
\wfrac {
a
} {
\frac {
b
} {
c
}
}
\stopformula
\stoptext
