Ensure fractions in Splunk UI are duplicated exactly. Hyphenate spelled-out fractions and use numerals with slashes for numerical fractions without additional formatting.

When writing about numbers that appear in a Splunk product UI, duplicate them exactly as the UI displays. Otherwise, follow these guidelines.

Generic fractions

If you're referring to a generic fraction and not one that refers back to a specific number, hyphenate the spelled-out fraction.

Review the following table for an example of a correctly formatted generic fraction:

Do this	Don't do this
The system parsed two-thirds of the events.	The system parsed 2/3rds of the events. The system parsed 2/3 of the events.

Numerical fractions

Use numerals and forward slashes with no additional formatting to represent numerical fractions. Add a space and remove the hyphen between a whole number and fraction.

Review the following table for examples of correctly formatted numerical fractions:

Do this	Don't do this
1/2	½
3/4	¾
70 1/2	70½ 70-½ 70-1/2
