But > then math will be messed up. The problem is that the My guess is you could just remove the punctuation support from the current OTP. If a user really needs to say "1.2 million", (s)he can just write $1.2$ instead, which is more or less standard TeX practice anyway. It is my understanding that the contents of $$ is unaffected by OTPs (and if it is not, it should be made so. Math is a language on its own). > This is a stop-gap solution until we replace otp's with something smarter. > Taco, Hans, let me know what you think before I work on this. TeX will never be smart enough to understand that "see figure 1.2" is fundamentally different from "averaging 1.2 figures per page". Not until it can actually interpret English text, anyway.
