Displaying fractions on the screen (ideally in a text box)

[ac]

I'd like to be able to display fractions in a text box. Not the usual ½ etc which have dedicated characters, but things like 2/5 or ⁷/₁₅ using superscript and subscript characters (as I have just done in this message text editor). I'm relatively new to Hippani and can't see how this could be done. I suspect it can't but I remain hopeful! Any ideas?

When I had to do this in Flash, I ended up creating a movie that contained a numerator text field, a line and denominator text field. I'm rather hoping I don't need to do the same as it's tedious updating each individual text box.

Thanks in advnace (though I suspect this is more in hope than expectation!)

It depends what kind of output your product has. If it's html or html5 there is a way.


Commands like <sup> and <sub> won't work if you just put them in at textbox. But if you place the textbox and add the text in it through code it's somehow added differently... Example: SupAndSubExample.hani (668 B)

Look in the OnStart script

It still won't work in preview but it works once the movie is exported. Hope that helps

Thanks runes. This is very bizarre, but, as you say seems to work. I will continue on this path - thanks for sharing.
