ordinalpt.sty --- counters as ordinal numbers in Portuguese
===========================================================
+Versions
+1.0 -> initial version
+2.0 -> reimplementation to make commands fully expandable in order to
+ work with \addcontentsline.
+3.0 -> added better forms for ordinals of 11, 12 and 13;
+ changed behavior for these numbers.

INTRODUCTION
============
-The package \textsf{ordinalpt} provides a counter style (like
-+\arabic+, +\alph+ and others) but that produces as output strings
-like ``primeiro'' (first in Portuguese), ``segundo'' (second),
-``terceiro'' (third), \ldots, up to ``mil\'esimo noningent\'esimo
-nonag\'esimo nono'' (1999$^{\text{th}}$). There are counter commands
-to output the text in UPPERCASE, Capitalized or in lowercase, with
-masculine or feminine gender.

PACKAGE OPTIONS
===============
-In Portuguese, both
- tricent\'esimo and trecent\'esimo (for 300th)
- sexcent\'esimo and seiscent\'esimo (for 600th)
- noningent\'esimo and nongent\'esimo (for 900th)
+In Portuguese, both
+ `und\'ecimo' and `d\'ecimo primeiro' (for 11th)
+ `duod\'ecimo' and `d\'ecimo segundo' (for 12th)
+ `tred\'ecimo' and `d\'ecimo terceiro' (for 13th)
+ `tricent\'esimo' and `trecent\'esimo' (for 300th)
+ `sexcent\'esimo' and `seiscent\'esimo' (for 600th)
+ `noningent\'esimo' and `nongent\'esimo' (for 900th)
are correct forms for ordinals.
-So there are the options
- tricentesimo (default)
- trecentesimo
- sexcentesimo (default)
- seiscentesimo
- noningentesimo (default)
- nongentesimo
-that switch to the respective forms when counters have values 300, 600
-or 900, respectively.
+It is common to find the shorter forms for 11th and 12th, but a bit
+harder to find to shorter form for 13th. If this later is used, then
+all 11th up to 13th should be in shorter forms.
+
+So there are the options to set the output for resp. for 11th, 12th and 13th
+ 11-12-curtos (default) -> und\'ecimo, duod\'ecimo, d\'ecimo terceiro
+ 11-13-curtos -> und\'ecimo, duod\'ecimo, tred\'ecimo
+ 11-13-longos -> d\'ecimo primeiro, d\'ecimo segundo, d\'ecimo terceiro
+
+To choose ordinals 300th, 600th and 900th, use
+ tricentesimo (default) or trecentesimo
+ sexcentesimo (default) or seiscentesimo
+ noningentesimo (default) or nongentesimo
