%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% This package was created as an answer to a
% question\footnote{\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25939/typesetting-babylonian-numerals/25947\#25947}}
% about typesetting Babylonian numerals asked on \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com}.
%
% This package allows to typeset Babylonian numerals using \XeTeX{} or \LuaTeX{}.
% It makes use of the \babylonianfont{} Paleo-Babylonian TrueType font
% which can be downloaded at \url{http://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de/cuneifont/}.
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\babylonianfont}
%
% Set the font used. Currently, only the \babylonianfont{} font has been tested.
% Let me know if you get the package to work with other fonts.
%
% Example usage: \verb!\babyloninanfont{Santakku}!
%
% \DescribeMacro{\babyloniannum}
%
% This is the main macro of this package. It takes a number between 1 and 59
% as argument and typesets it with Babylonian numerals.
%
% Example usage:
%
% \verb!\babyloninannum{424000}! is \babyloniannum{424000} (1,57,46,40 in base 60)
%
% \verb!\babyloninannum{21609}! is \babyloniannum{21609} (6,0,9 in base 60)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\babylonian}
%
% Like \verb!\arabic! or \verb!\roman!, this macro takes a counter
% name as argument and returns its Babylonian representation.
%
% For example, this documentation is typeset with:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \renewcommand{\thesection}{\babylonian{section}}
% \end{verbatim}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\unicodedisp}
%
% This macro lets you print characters using their unicode reference.
% It is used by \verb!\babyloniannum! to display Babylonian numbers.
%
% Example usage: \verb!\unicodedisp{1230B}!
%
% \pagebreak
% \section{Table of characters}
%
% Below is a sample list of Babylonian characters this package can typeset:
%
% \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
% \noindent\foreach \n in {1,...,40}{%
% \n~\babyloniannum{\n}\\
% }
% \end{minipage} \hfill
% \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
% \noindent\foreach \n in {41,...,80}{%
% \n~\babyloniannum{\n}\\
% }
% \end{minipage} \hfill
% \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
% \noindent\foreach \n in {81,...,120}{%
% \n~\babyloniannum{\n}\\
% }
% \end{minipage}
%
% \section{Known issues}
%
% \subsection{Glyph for 20}
%
% The glyph for number 20 was not found in the \babylonianfont{} font.
% Therefore, it has been replaced by the combination of two 10 glyphs,
% with a kerning adjustment.
%
% \subsection{Glyph for 0}
%
% The Babylonian system has no glyph for 0, which is represented by a
% large space. In this package, 0 is implemented as a 0.5em kerning space.
%
% \subsection{Multiples of 60}
%
% The Babylonian numeral system is a sexagesimal system
% (a positional base 60 system), which does not feature a glyph for 0.
% Therefore, a number such as \babyloniannum{23} can stand for
% $23$, $23 \times 60$ or $23 \times 60 \times 60$ or even $23/60$.
% Only the context allows to decide which number is represented.
