%
% \begin{abstract}
%   \textsf{ionumbers} stands for `input/output numbers'.
%
%   This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file
%   is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this
%   package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3\,231{,}44$' as commonly
%   used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you have
%   a large table and want to include it in texts with different output
%   conventions without the need of changing the table.
%
%   Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the decimal
%   separator (\emph{thousands}) and right to the decimal separator
%   (\emph{thousandths}) without the need of specifing commas (English) or
%   points (German) as separators. E.g., the input |$1234.567890$| can be
%   output as `$1\,234.\,567\,890$'.  By default, thousands/thousandths are
%   grouped in triplets, but the grouping length is configurable, which is
%   useful for numerical data.
%
%   Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example, |$21e6$|
%   may be output as `$26\times10\,^{6}$'.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Details of number handling}
%
% \subsection{General rules}
%
% Every input \emph{in math mode} consisting of the following characters is
% treated by this package: |.,+-0123456789|. These characters get macro
% definitions. A number is any combination of these characters without
% anything---not even white spaces---in between them. There are two
% exceptions/special cases:
%
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item The separator characters |.| and |,| are not treated as part of the
%     number at its end. This avoids problems with comma-separated lists
%     (see below).
%   \item The sign characters |+| and |-| will only be considered as part of
%     the number, if they appear at the begining of a number.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% The lower case letter |e| plays a special role. An |e| immediatly following a
% number (as defined above) can be configured as begining of the exponential
% part. The letter |e| will be eaten from the input in this case and
% substituted by some configurable output. The next number following this |e|
% in the same group (even with other characters inbetween the |e| and the
% number) will be treated as exponential part and grouped with curly braces
% |{}|.
%
% It is a good practice to always add a space before/after each number such that
% \textsf{ionumbers} knows the beginning/end of a number and does not
% misinterpret other input as part of it.
% Below, you will find a couple of examples that might lead to surprising
% output, if this rule is not followed.
%
% \subsection{Caveats}
%
% \emph{Comma-separated lists} of numbers must be input with a space after
% each comma to prevent |,| to be treated as part of the number. An example is
% the list |1, 2, 3, \ldots|, where the commas are not part of in the numbers.
% Note, however, that the commas are treated as part of the numbers in the first
% two appearances in |1,2,3,\ldots|, as the commas are immediately followed
% by a digit. Depending on the configuration, this may lead to strange spaces
% between the numbers, disappearing commas etc.
%
% If you use \emph{indexes consisting of four or more digits} together
% with automatic grouping of thousands, the grouping will also apply to the
% indexes. So |a_{1234}| might be output as $a_{1,234}$. The simplest way to
% prevent undesired automatic grouping is to insert a space after each digit,
% e.\,g., as in |a_{1 2 3 4}|.
%
% Please be aware that the first decimal separator of a number marks the
% begining of the thousandths part of a number; every part of a number
% appearing left to the first decimal separator is the thousands part. That is
% why, the input |$1.234.567$| with (only) the package option
% |autothousandths=true| (|.| is the decimal separator; options will be
% explained later) will lead to `$1.234.\,567$' in the output. Note the small
% space after the second point as a result of |234.567| being treated as
% thousandths part. The thousandths separator---by default a small space---will
% be output between the third and fourth digit of the thousandths part; the
% additional point from the input will not be omitted. The input is
% \emph{syntactically incorrect} (there must not be two decimal separators in
% one number!) and the output is \emph{not} a bug.
%
% The number following an |e| which has started the exponential part is treated
% as exponential part, \emph{even if there is arbitrary input inbetween}.
% Hence, the input |$1e \Pi 2| with package option |exponent=timestento| (will
% be explained later) leads to a superscript |2| in the output. In some cases,
% e.\,g., |$1e \sqrt 2$| or |$1e^2$| with
% |e| configured as begining of the exponential part, even an error occurs.
% Again, the input is \emph{syntactically incorrect} and you might want to
% prevent |e| from being treated as start of the exponential part by adding
% a space: |$1 e \sqrt 2$| or |$1 e^2$|.
%
% In some rare cases, e.\,g., |$\sqrt ,$| or |$a^.$|, the usage of point and
% comma without curly braces |{}| around them will lead to an error. In these
% cases please add curly braces |{}| around the point or comma. (The
% \textsf{ziffer} package has the same problem, by the way.)
%
% \section{Conflicts with other packages}
%
% This package potentially conflicts with any other package that defines a
% macro for any of the following characters: |.,+-0123456789|
%
% There are tests for these cases and warning or error messages may be output.
% Please load \textsf{ionumbers} as \emph{last package} to be able to detect as
% many conflicts as possible. As there is no way to detect conflicts in any
% case, please report any package known to conflict with \textsf{ionumbers} to
% the author.
%
% Packages known to conflict with \textsf{ionumbers} are:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\textsf{ziffer}] this package can be replaced by \textsf{ionumbers}
%     except for \textsf{ziffer}'s special handling of |--| enabled by
%     |\ZifferStrichAn|
%   \item[\textsf{dcolumn}] workaround: disable \textsf{ionumbers} for tabulars
%     (e.\,g., put them inside |\ionumbersoff|\marg{\ldots})
%   \item[\textsf{amsmath}/\textsf{amsopn}] load \textsf{ionumbers} as last
%     package and disable \textsf{ionumbers} for |\operatorname|\marg{\ldots}
%     (e.\,g., put it inside\\
%     |\ionumbersoff|\marg{\ldots})
% \end{mydescription}
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% Package options are used to globally configure a default behaviour of
% \textsf{ionumbers} for the whole document. These options usually consist
% of a \meta{key}|=|\meta{value} pair. Local changes from this global
% configuration for arbitrary parts of the document can be applied with special
% commands.
%
% \subsection{Package options concerning the separators in the input}
% \label{sec:in}
%
% The following options configure the meaning of separators in the \LaTeX{}
% input file:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{comma}=\meta{value}] comma `|,|' will be treated as
%     \meta{value}
%   \item[\texttt{point}=\meta{value}] point `|.|' will be treated as
%     \meta{value}
% \end{mydescription}
%
% The following \meta{value}s can be chosen for both of them:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{ignore}] the separator will be ignored (no output)
%   \item[\texttt{decimal}] decimal separator (separating the thousands from
%     the thousandths part of a number)
%   \item[\texttt{thousands}] thousands separator (used for grouping of
%     thousands part)
%   \item[\texttt{default}] default behaviour of \textsf{ionumbers}
%     (|decimal| for |point|; |thousands| for |comma|)
% \end{mydescription}
%
% The separator for exponents is always the lowercase letter |e|. A
% thousandths separator does not exist in input files; such a separator will
% only be output, if automatic grouping of the thousandths part is enabled (see
% below).
%
% \subsection{Package options concerning the separators in the output}
% \label{sec:out}
%
% The previously described options assign a \emph{meaning} to separators in
% the input file. The \emph{output} of the \emph{meanings} is configured via
% the following options:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{thousands}=\meta{value}] thousands separator will be output as
%     \meta{value}
%   \item[\texttt{decimal}=\meta{value}] decimal separator will be output as
%     \meta{value}
%   \item[\texttt{thousandths}=\meta{value}] thousandths separator will be
%     \meta{value}
%   \item[\texttt{exponent}=\meta{value}] exponent separator will be output as
%     \meta{value}
% \end{mydescription}
%
% The list of valid \meta{value}s for |thousands|, |decimal|, and |thousandths|
% is:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{none}] will be ignored (no output)
%   \item[\texttt{point}] normal point; this is the default point without
%     \textsf{ionumbers}
%   \item[\texttt{comma}] normal comma
%   \item[\texttt{punctpoint}] punctuation point (point followed by small space)
%   \item[\texttt{punctcomma}] punctuation comma (point followed by small
%     space); this is the default comma without \textsf{ionumbers}
%   \item[\texttt{apostrophe}] apostrophe (actually |$^\prime$|; \emph{not} for
%     |decimal|)
%   \item[\texttt{phantom}] space with width of a point (|$\phantom{.}$|;
%     \emph{not} for |decimal|)
%   \item[\texttt{space}] small space (|$\,$|; \emph{not} for |decimal|)
%   \item[\texttt{default}] default behaviour of \textsf{ionumbers}
%     (|punctcomma| for |thousands|; |point| for |decimal|; |space| for
%    |thousandths|)
% \end{mydescription}
%
% If a number is handled as exponent, it will be put into curly braces |{}|
% for correct output of, e.\,g., signs without spacing around them (mathord).
% In the following list of valid \meta{value}s for |exponent| a number
% immediatly following an |e| will be handled as exponent, unless specified
% otherwise:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{none}] will be ignored (not output; following number
%     \emph{not} handled as exponent)
%   \item[\texttt{original}] a simple character `e' (following number
%     \emph{not} handled as exponent)
%   \item[\texttt{ite/itE}] italic lower/upper case letter `e'
%   \item[\texttt{rme/rmE}] roman lower/upper case letter `e'
%   \item[\texttt{timestento}] |$\times10\,$| with following number output as
%     superscript
%   \item[\texttt{cdottento}] |$\cdot10\,$| with following number output as
%     superscript
%   \item[\texttt{wedge}] |$^\wedge$|
%   \item[\texttt{default}] default behaviour of \textsf{ionumbers} (|original|)
% \end{mydescription}
%
% \subsection{Package options concerning automatic grouping}
% \label{sec:auto}
%
% Automatic grouping is a feature that automatically adds the thousands and
% thousandths separator, respectively. The separator will by default be added
% after each triplet of digits, but this may be changed (see below). Automatic
% grouping can be enable or disabled with the
% following options:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{autothousands}=\meta{value}] automatic grouping of thousands
%     (digits left to decimal separator)
%   \item[\texttt{autothousandths}=\meta{value}] automatic grouping of
%     thousandths (digits right to decimal separator)
% \end{mydescription}
%
% The grouping length for the thousands and thousandths, respectively, can be
% changed be the following options:
% \begin{mydescription}
%   \item[\texttt{grplenthousands}=\meta{number}] group lengths for thousands
%     (\meta{number} must be smaller than |10|; defaults to |3|)
%   \item[\texttt{grplenthousandths}=\meta{number}] group lengths for thousandths
%     (\meta{number} must be smaller than |10|; defaults to |3|)
% \end{mydescription}
%
% The available \meta{value}s are |true| and |false| (default).
%
% Notes on automatic grouping:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Grouping of thousandths requires |autothousandths=true| in any case,
%     as there is no thousandths separator for explicitly specifing separations
%     in the input.
%   \item Automatic grouping of thousands will be skipped in a number, if it
%     contains a thousands separator in the input.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \subsection{Local style changes}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ionumbersstyle}
% The command |\ionumbersstyle|\marg{option list} changes the global style
% definitions as specified as package options for the rest of the group.
% The \meta{option list} may contain any of the package options described in
% sections~\ref{sec:in}--\ref{sec:auto}. An additional \meta{value} for all
% \meta{key}s is available inside |\ionumbersstyle| to switch back to the
% configuration specified as package options: |reset|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ionumbersresetstyle}
% The command |\ionumbersresetstyle| resets all \meta{value}s to the
% configuration specified as package options. Actually, it is only a shorthand
% for\\
% |\ionumbersstyle{comma=reset,point=reset,decimal=reset,...}|.
%
% \subsection{User-defined values for output separators}
% \label{sec:defs}
%
% A user may specify further output separators. Any user-defined \meta{value}s
% for |thousands|, |decimal|, |thousandths|, and |exponent| can be used like
% the built-in options in section~\ref{sec:out}.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\newionumbersthousands}
% \DescribeMacro{\newionumbersdecimal}
% \DescribeMacro{\newionumbersthousandths}
% \DescribeMacro{\newionumbersexponent}
% The command |\newionumbersthousands|\marg{value}\marg{definition} has two
% mandatory arguments. The first one is the name of the newly defined
% \meta{value} for the |thousands| \meta{key} and the second one its
% definition. The commands |\newionumbersdecimal|, |\newionumbersthousandths|,
% and |\newionumbersexponent| work the same way for the |decimal|,
% |thousandths|, and |exponent| \meta{key}, respectively. There is a starred
% version of |\newionumbersexponent| (called |\newionumbersexponent*|) that
% typesets the following number as superscript.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\renewionumbersthousands}
% \DescribeMacro{\renewionumbersdecimal}
% \DescribeMacro{\renewionumbersthousandths}
% \DescribeMacro{\renewionumbersexponent}
% To redefine an existing \meta{key} definition there are |\renew...| versions
% of the previously described commands.
%
% Notes on definitions:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item All \meta{definition}s are set inside |\ionumbersoff| (see
%     section~\ref{sec:feat}). This means that numbers appearing in the
%     \meta{definition}s are not treated by this package.
%   \item The value |curr| has an internal meaning and should \emph{not} be
%     defined/redefined by the user.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \subsection{Enabling and disabling features}
% \label{sec:feat}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ionumbers}
% The command |\ionumbers| makes comma, point, signs, and digits active in math
% mode. This is equivalent to enabling the features of this package. This
% command applies to the end of the current group.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\endionumbers}
% To disable the features by making comma, point, signs, and digits inactive
% again the command |\endionumbers| can be used. This command applies to the
% end of the current group.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ionumbersoff}
% The command |\ionumbersoff|\marg{stuff} disables the features only for
% \meta{stuff}.

%
% \section{Implementation}
%
% The implementation is briefly described in this section. First of all, we
% need the \textsf{keyval} package for \meta{key}|=|\meta{value} options:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{keyval}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
%
% \subsection{Default/global configuration}
%
% In principle the definitions of all available \meta{key'}|=|\meta{value'}
% pairs is contained in the internal macros |\ion@|\meta{key'}|@|\meta{value'}.
% Setting a package option \meta{key}|=|\meta{value} defines
% |\ion@|\meta{key}|@reset| to be |\ion@|\meta{key}|@|\meta{value}.
%
% The following |if|s will be required to remember, if automatic grouping is
% enabled.  The counts will be required for the grouping lengths.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifion@autothousands
\newif\ifion@autothousandths
\newcount\ion@grplenthousands
\newcount\ion@grplenthousandths
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The next macro will be used for syntax checks of numerical arguments.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*{\ion@grplencheck}[1]{%
  \ifnum#1>9%
    \PackageError{ionumbers}%
    {Group length argument too large (#1).\MessageBreak%
    Grouping lengths must be smaller than 10.}{}%
  \fi%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% These shorthands are used to define the \meta{key}s for package options
% and set their \meta{value}s using \textsf{keyval}, respectively.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\ion@defpackopts{\define@key{ion@packopts}}
\newcommand*\ion@setpackopts{\setkeys{ion@packopts}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Next the \meta{key}s are defined.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ion@defpackopts{comma}{%
  \def\ion@comma@reset{\csname ion@comma@#1\endcsname}%
  \def\ion@aftercomma@reset{\csname ion@aftercomma@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@defpackopts{point}{%
  \def\ion@point@reset{\csname ion@point@#1\endcsname}%

  \csname ion@exponent@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@defpackopts{autothousands}[true]{\def\ion@autothousandsreset{%
  \csname ion@autothousands#1\endcsname}\ion@autothousandsreset}
\ion@defpackopts{autothousandths}[true]{\def\ion@autothousandthsreset{%
  \csname ion@autothousandths#1\endcsname}\ion@autothousandthsreset}
\ion@defpackopts{grplenthousands}{\ion@grplencheck{#1}%
  \def\ion@grplenthousandsreset{\ion@grplenthousands=#1}%
  \ion@grplenthousandsreset}
\ion@defpackopts{grplenthousandths}{\ion@grplencheck{#1}%
  \def\ion@grplenthousandthsreset{\ion@grplenthousandths=#1}%
  \ion@grplenthousandthsreset}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Finally, the default \meta{value}s are set and---if specified by the user as
% package option---overwritten with the user's configuration.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ion@setpackopts{comma=default,point=default,thousands=default,%
  decimal=default,thousandths=default,exponent=default,autothousands=false,%
  autothousandths=false,grplenthousands=3,grplenthousandths=3}
\DeclareOption*{\expandafter\ion@setpackopts\expandafter{\CurrentOption}}
\ProcessOptions\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
%
% \subsection{Local style changes}
%
% The currently active configuration of a \meta{key} is stored in the macro
% |\ion@|\meta{key}|@curr|. The |\ion@|\meta{key}|@curr| macros for all
% \meta{key}s are defined using the mechanism for local configuration changes.
%
% The local options are defined and set---analogous to the package option
% case---with two shorthands using \textsf{keyval}. The latter is
% publically available to the user.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\ion@deflocopts{\define@key{ion@locopts}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\ionumberstyle}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\ionumbersstyle[1]{\setkeys{ion@locopts}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% Now the \meta{key}s for the local options are defined (just as in the case of
% the package options):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ion@deflocopts{comma}{%
  \def\ion@comma@curr{\csname ion@comma@#1\endcsname}%
  \def\ion@aftercomma@curr{\csname ion@aftercomma@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{point}{%
  \def\ion@point@curr{\csname ion@point@#1\endcsname}%
  \def\ion@afterpoint@curr{\csname ion@afterpoint@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{decimal}{\def\ion@decimal@curr{%
  \csname ion@decimal@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{thousands}{\def\ion@thousands@curr{%
  \csname ion@thousands@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{thousandths}{\def\ion@thousandths@curr{%
  \csname ion@thousandths@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{exponent}{\def\ion@exponent@curr{%
  \csname ion@exponent@#1\endcsname}}
\ion@deflocopts{autothousands}[true]{\csname ion@autothousands#1\endcsname}
\ion@deflocopts{autothousandths}[true]{\csname ion@autothousandths#1\endcsname}
\ion@deflocopts{grplenthousands}{%
  \def\@tempa{#1}%
  \def\@tempb{reset}%
  \ifx\@tempa\@tempb%
    \ion@grplenthousandsreset%
  \else%
    \ion@grplencheck{#1}%
    \ion@grplenthousands=#1%

\ion@deflocopts{grplenthousandths}{%
  \def\@tempa{#1}%
  \def\@tempb{reset}%
  \ifx\@tempa\@tempb%
    \ion@grplenthousandthsreset%
  \else%
    \ion@grplencheck{#1}%
    \ion@grplenthousandths=#1%
  \fi%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Finally, the command for resetting all \meta{key}s is defined.
% \begin{macro}{\ionumbersresetstyle}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\ionumbersresetstyle{%
  \ionumbersstyle{comma=reset,point=reset,thousands=reset,%
    decimal=reset,thousandths=reset,exponent=reset,autothousands=reset,%
    autothousandths=reset,grplenthousands=reset,grplenthousandths=reset}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% This command is issued at the end of the package to make the configuration
% of the package options active (and have no undefined |\ion@|\meta{key}|@curr|
% macros).
%    \begin{macrocode}

% \subsection{Definitions of active characters}
%
% The macro definitions for the characters |.,+-0123456789| are hold in the
% following macros. Number processing works by looking at the next character
% and performing one or more from the following actions:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item the currently configured output for the character will be added to
%     the end of |\ion@currnum| by |\ion@currnum@append|;
%     |\ion@currnum| stores the currently processed number
%   \item only for comma/point: the corresponding |after...| macro will be
%     issued
%   \item the currently processed number will be output via
%     |\ion@currnum@output|
%   \item the |e| will be eaten and replaced by its configured output
% \end{itemize}
% The conditions in the macro definitions should be self-explanatory for each
% character. The extra |\ion@startnumber| is required to avoid problems with
% input like |$a_0$| or |$\sqrt 2$|, where curly braces around |0| and |2| have
% been omitted.

% \subsection{Commands for current number}
%
% Numbers are processed by first storing one character after the other in an
% internal macro to be able to automatically group digits. The basic idea when
% adding single characters is
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item remember, whether we are processing the thousands or the thousandths
%     part of a number (|\ifion@beforedecimal|)
%   \item calculate the number of digits processed modulo 3 plus 1 in the
%     current part and
%     \begin{itemize}
%       \item for the thousands part: add |\ion@thousands@sepa| for 1,
%         |\ion@thousands@sepb| for 2, |\ion@thousands@sepc| for 3, \ldots{}
%         after a digit
%       \item for the thousandths part: add |\ion@thousandths@sep| after each
%         third digit
%     \end{itemize}
% \end{itemize}
% The macros |\ion@thousands@sep...| and |\ion@thousandths@sep| are empty by
% default. Before outputting the number, the number of digits in the thousands
% part is known and the correct |\ion@thousands@sep...| macro can be set to the
% thousands separator for correct grouping.
%
% First of all, the |if|s, counters and empty separator macros are initialized.
