Subject: ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:08:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1410329.t7YnaHOuHa@localhost> (raw)
Hello there and thanks for finally let me into this mailing list!
So I tried to hack the macro given in the ConTeXt wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_numbering_in_words) to write pagenumbering
in words in spanish, my native language. Things were great until I had to
reach the 100th page. ConTeXt claims when compiling, but I don't know how to
fix the macro so it can write hundred-numbers.
'Cien' is 100 for spanish. 'Ciento uno' for 101, 'ciento dos' for 102 and so
(You can see a more detailed example in
http://spanish.about.com/cs/forbeginners/a/cardinalnum_beg.htm). So basically
I need to prepend the word 'cien' for each word number from 1 to 99 to write
the one-hundreds, 'doscientos' for the two-hundreds... Here is my dirty hacked
version of the macro (you may save it as 'numstr.tex' for compiling), and a
minimal example as follows:
\input numstr
\defineconversion[numstring][\numstr]
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numstring]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{\recurselevel\page}
\stoptext
I'm such a noob with TeX and I cannot figure out how to do this, and I need
this for this friday!. However, Aditya in the TeX section of StackExchange
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82722/context-page-numbering-in-words-
for-spanish#comment178155_82722) told me that I could do this witk Lua
(editing the file core-con.lua, as seen in
http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git/blob/HEAD:/tex/context/base/core-con.lua
), 'cause I'm using MkIV for doing this. But I don't know anything about Lua
(seems pretty easy, but I don't know how to test the code Aditya gave me) and
If I knew how to do that, I don't know how to make it work in my document...
All I could do is translate the 'words' array to spanish, but I couldn't do
more... Could you guys give me a hand on this? Thank you so much!
