%
% \begin{abstract}
% \noindent
% Sometimes a plain number is fine; other times, you want it
% \emph{padded}, either with zeroes or some other character.
% This small package makes it easy to do that. It works not
% only on
% arabic numerals, but on any expanded list of tokens passed
% to it. This makes it suitable for, among other things,
% counters of all kinds.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% About as simply as possible, the package centers on the
% \DescribeMacro{\padnum}|\padnum| macro, which is defined
% as follows:
%
% \begin{quote}
% \cmd{\padnum} \marg{stuff}
% \end{quote}
%
% The argument can be anything that \TeX\ will recognize as
% a list of tokens, though it's anticipated that it'll be
% used mostly for numbers. By default,
% |padcount| pads to two digits, and it does that
% padding with the character |0|.
%
% The examples in this document assume the existence of a
% \TeX\ count register |\tmp| (created by |\newcount\tmp|)
% and a \LaTeX\ counter |temp| (created by
% |\newcounter{temp}|).
%
% \newcount\tmp
% \newcounter{temp}
% \begin{center}\tabcolsep=0pt
% \begin{tabular}{p{2in}lp{0.4in}p{2in}l}
% |\padnum{4}| & \padnum{4} & {} & |\padnum{47}| & \padnum{47} \\
% |\tmp=8\padnum{\the\tmp}| & \tmp=8\padnum{\the\tmp} & {} &
% |\tmp=16\padnum{\the\tmp}| & \tmp=16\padnum{\the\tmp} \\
% |\setcounter{temp}{8}| |\padnum{\thetemp}| &
% \setcounter{temp}{8}\padnum{\thetemp} & {} &
% |\setcounter{temp}{16}| |\padnum{\thetemp}| &
% \setcounter{temp}{16}\padnum{\thetemp} \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% You can change the number of digits you'd like to pad to
% with the macro \DescribeMacro{\setpadnum}|\setpadnum|,
% which takes a single integer as its argument. By default,
% this is |2|; but any integer whatsoever will work.
%
% \begin{center}\tabcolsep=0pt
% \begin{tabular}{p{2in}r}
% |\setpadnum{4}\padnum{4}| & \setpadnum{4}\padnum{4} \\
% |\setpadnum{8}\padnum{42424}| & \setpadnum{8}\padnum{42424} \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% You can set the character that will be used for padding
% with \DescribeMacro{\setpadchar}|\setpadchar|. In fact,
% this need not be a character; it can be any expansible set
% of tokens.
%
% \begin{center}\tabcolsep=0pt
% \begin{tabular}{p{3.65in}r}
% |\setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{*}=\padnum{4}=| &
% \setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{*}=\padnum{4}= \\
% |\setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{\hskip1.2ex}=\padnum{4}=| &
% \setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{\hskip1.2ex}=\padnum{4}= \\
% |\setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{*}=\padnum{\roman{temp}}=| &
% \setpadnum{4}\setpadchar{*}=\padnum{\roman{temp}}= \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% That last example, incidentally, also demonstrates that we
% can send a counter in any format, without regard to base,
% and |padcount| will do its job.
%
% And that's it; just a small utility package. Hope it's
% useful in some way.
%
% \section{Implementation}
%
% We start with the macros to count characters, which we've
% gently adapted from those of David Carlisle's answer on
% \url{tex.stackexchange.com}, question 57598.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\pad@charcount%
\def\pad@expandloop#1{%
\pad@xloop#1\relax
}
\def\pad@xloop#1{%
\ifx\relax#1%
\else%
\advance\pad@charcount by1%
\expandafter\pad@xloop%
\fi%
}%
\def\pad@countchar#1{%
\pad@charcount=0%
\expandafter\expandafter\pad@expandloop{#1}%
}%
% \end{macrocode}
% Now, we can set the defaults. Set the padding level to
% two characters and the padding character to |0|. Also
% define some throwaway counters for loops and
% value-holding.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\pad@tmp%
\newcount\pad@tmpi%
\newcount\pad@num\pad@num=2%
\def\pad@char{0}%
% \end{macrocode}
% Now, the money: count the characters, determine how many
% new characters we need to print, then loop the appropriate
% number of times to print them.
% \begin{macrocode}
\def\padnum#1{%
\edef\pad@yy{#1}%
\expandafter\pad@countchar{\pad@yy}%
\pad@tmp=\pad@charcount%
\multiply\pad@tmp by-1%
\advance\pad@tmp by\pad@num%
\pad@tmpi=0%
\ifnum\pad@tmp>0%
\loop%
\ifnum\pad@tmpi<\pad@tmp%
\pad@char%
\advance\pad@tmpi by1%
\repeat%
\fi%
\leavevmode#1%
}%
% \end{macrocode}
% Lastly, some macros to reset the internal values used by
% |\padnum|.
% \begin{macrocode}
\def\setpadnum#1{\pad@num=#1}%
\def\setpadchar#1{\def\pad@char{#1}}%
% \end{macrocode}
% Happy \TeX{}ing!
