@ Paulie_D:
Yes, I know (although most fonts only have ½ ¼ ¾). I’m doing this for arbitrary fractions.
@ shaneisme:
I understand specificity; what I don’t understand is why the top:
and bottom:
in sup.frac
are calculated from the previously set “baseline” in sup, sub
instead of the top:
& bottom:
positions set in sup
+ sub:
that come after sup, sub
and before sup.frac
+ sub.frac
. In other words, after inheriting top:
& bottom:
from a previous rule why aren’t those positions the new starting point for another top:
& bottom:
in a later rule.
