Numbers are printed +in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. + Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as +well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach +12,345.6\times 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to +a given number of digits. + If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. +Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. + The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the +number format. + Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable +environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported +using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and +after the formatted number. + +If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty +which will stay fixed. + + +nbaseprt.sty: +This package prints integer numbers in different bases (octal, +decimal, hexadecimal, binary) similarly to the numprint package. +But here, the number of digits within one group depends on the +base. + This version of nbaseprt.sty is a BETA VERSION. The main command +\nbaseprint will stay stable but all configuration commands and the output +of \nbaseprint may change in future. Please give me feedback what can be +improved and if the abbreviations for the different number bases are correct. + + + +Copyright 2000--2005 Harald Harders + +This program can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms +of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN +archives in directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt; either +version 1 of the License, or any later version. + + + +Installation: + +automatic: - run make + - run make install + or + - run make + - copy numprint.sty, nbaseprt.sty, and numprint032.sty to a place + where LaTeX can find them + - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution + +by hand: - execute latex on numprint.ins + - copy numprint.sty, nbaseprt.sty, and numprint032.sty to a place + where LaTeX can find them + - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution + If you also want to re-compile the documentation which should not + be necessary do the following items, too: + - execute: + pdflatex numprint.dtx + pdflatex numprint.dtx + makeindex -s gglo.ist -o numprint.gls numprint.glo + makeindex -s gind.ist numprint + pdflatex numprint.dtx + - copy numprint.pdf to the documentation tree of your + TeX implementation + - do the same replacing `numprint' by `nbaseprt' resp.
