<H1><A NAME="SECTION00020000000000000000">
Introduction</A>
</H1>
The <TT>fmtcount</TT> package provides commands to display
the values of LaTeX counters in a variety of formats. It also
provides equivalent commands for actual numbers rather than
counter names. Limited multilingual support is available.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00030000000000000000">
Installation</A>
</H1>
<P>
This package is distributed with the files <TT>fmtcount.dtx</TT>
and <TT>fmtcount.ins</TT>. To extract the code do:
<PRE>
latex fmtcount.ins
</PRE>
This will create the files <TT>fmtcount.sty</TT> and
<TT>fmtcount.perl</TT>, along with several <TT>.def</TT> files.
Place <TT>fmtcount.sty</TT> and the <TT>.def</TT> files somewhere
where LaTeX will find them (e.g. <TT>texmf/tex/latex/fmtcount/</TT>) and place <TT>fmtcount.perl</TT> somewhere where LaTeX2HTML
will find it (e.g. latex2html/styles). Remember to refresh
the TeX database (using <TT>texhash</TT> under Linux, for
other operating systems check the manual.)
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00040000000000000000">
Available Commands</A>
</H1>
<P>
The commands can be divided into two categories: those that
take the name of a counter as the argument, and those
that take a number as the argument.
<P>
The macro <code>\ordinal{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will
print the value of a LaTeX counter <I>counter</I> as an ordinal,
where the macro <code>\fmtord{</code><I>text</I><code>}</code> is used to format the st,nd,rd,th bit.
By default the ordinal is formatted as a superscript, if the package option <TT>level</TT>
is used, it is level with the text.
For example, if the current section is 3, then <code>\ordinal{section}</code> will produce
the output: 3<SUP>rd</SUP>.
<P>
<B>Note:</B> the <TT>memoir</TT> class also defines a command called
<code>\ordinal</code> which takes a number as an argument instead of a
counter. In order to overcome this incompatiblity, if you want
to use the <TT>fmtcount</TT> package with the <TT>memoir</TT> class
you should use <code>\FCordinal</code> to access <TT>fmtcount</TT>'s
version of <code>\ordinal</code>, and use <code>\ordinal</code> to use
<TT>memoir</TT>'s version of that command.
<P>
The macro <code>\ordinalnum</code> is like <code>\ordinal</code>
but takes an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\ordinalnum{3}</code> will
produce: 3<SUP>rd</SUP>.
<P>
The macro <code>\numberstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the value
of <I>counter</I> as text. E.g. <code>\numberstring{section}</code> will produce:
three.
The macro <code>\Numberstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same as
<code>\numberstring</code>, but with initial letters in uppercase. For
example, <code>\Numberstring{section}</code> will produce: Three.
The macro <code>\NUMBERstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same
as <code>\numberstring</code>, but converted to upper case. Note that
<code>\MakeUppercase{\NUMBERstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}}</code> doesn't
work, due to the way that <code>\MakeUppercase</code> expands its
argument<A NAME="tex2html4"
HREF="#foot288"><SUP>1</SUP></A>.
<P>
The macros <code>\numberstringnum</code>,
<code>\Numberstringnum</code> and
<code>\NUMBERstringnum</code> work like
<code>\numberstring</code>,
<code>\Numberstring</code> and
<code>\NUMBERstring</code>, respectively, but take an actual number
rather than a counter as the argument. For example:
<code>\Numberstringnum{105}</code> will produce: One Hundred and Five.
<P>
The macro <code>\ordinalstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the
value of <I>counter</I> as a textual ordinal. E.g. <code>\ordinalstring{section}</code> will produce: third.
The macro <code>\Ordinalstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same as
<code>\ordinalstring</code>, but with initial letters in uppercase. For example,
<code>\Ordinalstring{section}</code> will produce: Third.
The macro <code>\ORDINALstring{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same as
<code>\ordinalstring</code>, but with all words in upper case (see previous
note about <TT>\MakeUppercase</TT>).
<P>
The macros <code>\ordinalstringnum</code>,
<code>\Ordinalstringnum</code> and <TT>\ORDINALstringnum</TT> work like
<code>\ordinalstring</code>,
<code>\Ordinalstring</code> and <TT>\ORDINALstring</TT>, respectively, but take an actual number
rather than a counter as the argument. For example,
<code>\ordinalstringnum{3}</code> will produce: third.
<P>
As from version 1.09, textual representations can be stored for
later use. This overcomes the problems encountered when you
attempt to use one of the above commands in <TT>\edef</TT>.
<P>
Each of the following commands takes a label as the first argument,
the other arguments are as the analogous commands above. These
commands do not display anything, but store the textual
representation. This can later be retrieved using
<TT>\FMCuse</TT>{<I>label</I>}.
Note: with <TT>\storeordinal</TT> and <TT>\storeordinalnum</TT>, the
only bit that doesn't get expanded is <TT>\fmtord</TT>. So, for
example, <code>\storeordinalnum{mylabel}{3}</code> will be stored as
<code>3\relax \fmtord{rd}</code>.
<P>
<TT>\storeordinal</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeordinalstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeOrdinalstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeORDINALstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storenumberstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeNumberstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeNUMBERstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>counter</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeordinalnum</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeordinalstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeOrdinalstringnum</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeORDINALstringnum</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storenumberstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeNumberstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
<TT>\storeNUMBERstring</TT>{<I>label</I>}{<I>number</I>}[<I>gender</I>]
<P>
The macro <code>\binary{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the
value of <I>counter</I> as a binary number.
E.g. <code>\binary{section}</code> will produce: 11. The declaration
<code>\padzeroes[</code><I>n</I><code>]</code>
will ensure numbers are written to <I>n</I> digits, padding with
zeroes if necessary. E.g. <code>\padzeroes[8]\binary{section}</code>
will produce: 00000011.
The default value for <I>n</I> is 17.
<P>
The macro <code>\binarynum</code> is like <code>\binary</code>
but takes an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\binarynum{5}</code> will
produce: 101.
<P>
The macro <code>\octal{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the
value of <I>counter</I> as an octal number. For example, if you
have a counter called, say <TT>mycounter</TT>, and you set the
value to 125, then <code>\octal{mycounter}</code> will produce: 177.
Again, the number will be padded with zeroes if necessary,
depending on whether <code>\padzeroes</code> has been used.
<P>
The macro <code>\octalnum</code> is like <code>\octal</code>
but takes an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\octalnum{125}</code> will
produce: 177.
<P>
The macro <code>\hexadecimal{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print
the value of <I>counter</I> as a hexadecimal number. Going back
to the previous example, <code>\hexadecimal{mycounter}</code> will
produce: 7d. Again, the number will be padded with zeroes if
necessary, depending on whether <code>\padzeroes</code> has been used.
<code>\Hexadecimal{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same thing,
but uses uppercase characters, e.g.
<code>\Hexadecimal{mycounter}</code> will produce: 7D.
<P>
The macros <code>\hexadecimalnum</code> and
<code>\Hexadecimalnum</code> are like
<code>\hexadecimal</code> and <code>\Hexadecimal</code>
but take an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\hexadecimalnum{125}</code> will
produce: 7d, and <code>\Hexadecimalnum{125}</code> will
produce: 7D.
<P>
The macro <code>\decimal{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> is similar to
<code>\arabic</code> but the number can be padded with zeroes
depending on whether <code>\padzeroes</code> has been used.
For example: <code>\padzeroes[8]\decimal{section}</code> will
produce: 00000005.
<P>
The macro <code>\decimalnum</code> is like <code>\decimal</code>
but takes an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\padzeroes[8]\decimalnum{5}</code> will
produce: 00000005.
<P>
The macro <code>\aaalph{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the
value of <I>counter</I> as: a b ... z aa bb ... zz etc.
For example, <code>\aaalpha{mycounter}</code> will produce: uuuuu if
<TT>mycounter</TT> is set to 125.
<code>\AAAlph{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same thing, but
uses uppercase characters, e.g.
<code>\AAAlph{mycounter}</code> will produce: UUUUU.
<P>
The macros <code>\aaalphnum</code> and
<code>\AAAlphnum</code> are like
<code>\aaalph</code> and <code>\AAAlph</code>
but take an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\aaalphnum{125}</code> will
produce: uuuuu, and <code>\AAAlphnum{125}</code> will
produce: UUUUU.
<P>
The macro <code>\abalph{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> will print the
value of <I>counter</I> as: a b ... z aa ab ... az etc.
For example, <code>\abalpha{mycounter}</code> will produce: du if
<TT>mycounter</TT> is set to 125.
<code>\ABAlph{</code><I>counter</I><code>}</code> does the same thing, but
uses uppercase characters, e.g.
<code>\ABAlph{mycounter}</code> will produce: DU.
<P>
The macros <code>\abalphnum</code> and
<code>\ABAlphnum</code> are like
<code>\abalph</code> and <code>\ABAlph</code>
but take an actual number rather than a counter as the
argument. For example: <code>\abalphnum{125}</code> will
produce: du, and <code>\ABAlphnum{125}</code> will
produce: DU.
<P>

Package Options</A>
</H1>
<P>
The following options can be passed to this package:
<P>
<TABLE CELLPADDING=3>
<TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT">raise</TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">make ordinal st,nd,rd,th appear as superscript</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT">level</TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">make ordinal st,nd,rd,th appear level with rest of

</TR>
</TABLE>
<P>
These can also be set using the command:
<P>
<code>\fmtcountsetoptions{fmtord=</code><I>type</I><code>}</code>
<P>
where <I>type</I> is either <TT>level</TT> or
<TT>raise</TT>.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00060000000000000000">
Multilingual Support</A>
</H1>
<P>
Version 1.02 of the <TT>fmtcount</TT> package now has
limited multilingual support. The following languages are
implemented: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, French (Swiss)
and French (Belgian). The package checks to see if the
command <code>\date</code><I>language</I> is defined<A NAME="tex2html5"
HREF="#foot289"><SUP>2</SUP></A>, and will
load the code for those languages. The commands <code>\ordinal</code>,
<code>\ordinalstring</code> and <code>\numberstring</code> (and their
variants) will then be formatted in the currently
selected language.
<P>
If the French language is selected, the French (France) version
will be used by default (e.g. soxiante-dix for 70). To
select the Swiss or Belgian variants (e.g. septente for 70) use:
<code>\fmtcountsetoptions{french=</code><I>dialect</I><code>}</code>
where <I>dialect</I> is either <TT>swiss</TT> or <TT>belgian</TT>.
You can also use this command to change the action of
<code>\ordinal</code>.
<code>\fmtcountsetoptions{abbrv=true}</code> to produce ordinals
of the form 2<SUP>e</SUP> or
<code>\fmtcountsetoptions{abbrv=false}</code> to produce ordinals
of the form 2<SUP>eme</SUP> (default).
<P>
The <TT>french</TT> and <TT>abbrv</TT> settings only have an
effect if the French language has been defined.
<P>
The male gender for all languages is used by default, however
the feminine form can be obtained by passing <TT>f</TT> as
an optional argument to <code>\ordinal</code>, <code>\ordinalnum</code> etc.
For example: <code>\numberstring{section}[f]</code>. Note that the
optional argument comes <I>after</I> the compulsory argument.
<P>
Let me know if you find any spelling mistakes (has been known
to happen in English, let alone other languages I'm not so
familiar with.)

Configuration File <TT>fmtcount.cfg</TT></A>
</H1>
<P>
You can save your preferred default settings to a file called
<TT>fmtcount.cfg</TT>, and place it on the TeX path. These
settings will then be loaded by the <TT>fmtcount</TT>
package.
<P>
Note that if you are using the <TT>datetime</TT> package,
the <TT>datetime.cfg</TT> configuration file will override
the <TT>fmtcount.cfg</TT> configuration file.
For example, if <TT>datetime.cfg</TT> has the line:
<PRE>
\renewcommand{\fmtord}[1]{\textsuperscript{\underline{#1}}}
</PRE>
and if <TT>fmtcount.cfg</TT> has the line:
<PRE>
\fmtcountsetoptions{fmtord=level}
</PRE>
then the former definition of <code>\fmtord</code> will take
precedence.

LaTeX2HTML style</A>

<P>
The LaTeX2HTML style file <TT>fmtcount.perl</TT> is provided.
The following limitations apply:
<P>
<UL>
<LI><code>\padzeroes</code> only has an effect in the preamble.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>The configuration file
<TT>fmtcount.cfg</TT> is currently ignored. (This is because
I can't work out the correct code to do this. If you
know how to do this, please let me know.) You can however
do:
<PRE>
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\html{\input{fmtcount.cfg}}
</PRE>
This, I agree, is an unpleasant cludge.
