[Blindmath] Concise form for: fraction one over two plus three endFraction

[Ken Perry]

I guess I am not understanding the use case of the situation.  Are you using
this as an input interface or a file output format?  If its an input
interface then yes the simple form for simple problems would be fine.  If
you are doing this as an output format like an xml then you want to stay
standard

Hi Ken

I'm wanting to choose the wrapper depending on the content.  I expect
experienced users will want frac one two rather than fraction one over two
endFraction.  But what about fractions where just one of numerator and
denominator are simple expressions.  So my concise rules would not apply to
your example fraction 3x^2+x+9 over 8x^3+x-2 end fraction.

My question is, for this specific case, which do you prefer: frac 1 begin x
plus 2 end, or fraction 1 over x plus two endFraction.

I hope that from enough specific cases I can construct (and implement)
general rules that work fairly well.  I do want to get the aspect of my
project right.

Best regards


Jonathan
