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
I don't know what \dfrac should be (I assumed \let\dfrac=\frac) The most easy solutions is probably to put a \ or \, before and after the content (if I understood your question correctly). \dfrac{\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}}{\ \dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}\ }. If you use that a lot, something like \def\mainfrac#1#2{\frac{\ #1\ }{\ #2\ }} might be helpful. Mojca
