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}) in triplets without the need of specifing commas +(English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input |$1234.567890$| +can be output as `$1\,234.\,567\,890$'. + +Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example, |$21e6$| +may be output as `$26\times10\,^{6}$'. + +See `ionumbers.pdf' for detailed information on usage. + +BUILDING +======== + +If you do not want to use the pre-build `ionumber.sty' and `ionumber.pdf' +files, you will have to choose one of the following two ways for building them. +Otherwise you can skip this section. + +1) Building with make +--------------------- + +Running `make' will create the LaTeX package and documentation: + # make + +2) Building manually +-------------------- + +a) Generation of package (.sty file): + +Run `ionumbers.ins' through LaTeX: + # pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ionumbers.ins + +b) Generation of documentation: + +Run `ionumbers.dtx' through LaTeX: + # pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ionumbers.dtx + +Then create the index and change history: + # makeindex -s gind.ist -o ionumbers.ind ionumbers.idx + # makeindex -s gglo.ist -o ionumbers.gls ionumbers.glo + +Finally, run `ionumbers.dtx' three time through LaTeX. + # pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ionumbers.dtx + # pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ionumbers.dtx + # pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ionumbers.dtx + +INSTALLATION +============ + +Copy the file `ionumbers.sty' to a directory, where LaTeX will find it. + +LICENSE +======= + +Copyright 2007-2008 Christian Schneider <software(at)chschneider(dot)eu> + +idea and parts of this package based on: ziffer.sty v2.1 +Copyright Martin Vaeth <vaeth@mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de> + +ion@addto@macro: identical to l@addto@macro from koma-script + bundle v2.9t +Copyright 1994-2004 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam + +Thanks to Martin Vaeth and Markus Kohm for permitting to use their +code in this package.
