For example, when currency decimalisation was introduced in the UK +% in 1971, the recommended way of writing currency was with a raised dot, as in $\pounds\,21.34$. +% However, since then there has been a gradual decline in the use of the raised point most probably +% owing to the fact that this glyph was not generally available on electronic typewriters or computer +% wordprocessors. While the raised dot does make occasional appearances in British newspapers, it is, +% unfortunately, seldom seen nowadays even in British scientific journals. +% +% This decline was highlighted relatively recently when the UK journal Nature reprinted some +% 1953 articles as part of the $50^{th}$ anniversary of the discovery of the double helix. +% For example, one of the reprinted articles (\textit{Nature} 2003; \underline{421}, 400--401) +% states that Franklin and Gosling\footnote{RWD Nickalls says that he was drawn to this particular +% series of articles since he spent a year as a student of Ray Gosling in the then Physics Department +% at Guy's Hospital Medical School, London, in the 1960s.} mentioned the ``\ldots very strong +% reflexion at $3.4$\,A \ldots''. Ironically, if this sentence were published in a journal in +% Britain today the {\AA}ngstr\"{o}m symbol would probably be typeset correctly but +% the decimal point would most likely appear in the American `full point' style as {3.4\,\AA}. +% +% The most pleasing position of the raised decimal point is level with +% the center of the `equals' sign, as shown by the expression $x=0.3456$, +% and this is what the \textit{decimal} package implements. +% However, in old texts the practice was to place +% the full point rather higher, as in $25{\hidot}345$. +% While this is a bit too high for visual comfort nowadays, +% the reason for the original high position lies in the name used by +% metal type-setters for the decimal point, namely +% a `turned' full point, as mentioned in the following extract from an $80$~year-old +% \textsl{Authors' \& Printers' Dictionary}.\footnote{Collins H (1921).
