The difference between \dfrac and \fracΒΆ

In this example, the differences between the \dfrac and \frac TeX macros are illustrated; in particular, the difference between display style and text style fractions when using Mathtex.

New in version 2.1.

Note

To use \dfrac with the LaTeX engine (text.usetex : True), you need to import the amsmath package with the text.latex.preamble rc, which is an unsupported feature; therefore, it is probably a better idea to just use the \displaystyle option before the \frac macro to get this behavior with the LaTeX engine.
