It redefines all basic \LaTeX\ % counters, provides a command for converting arbitrary % decimal numbers into dozenal, and provides new, real % Metafont characters for ten and eleven, though the % commands for producing them can be redefined to produce % any figure. As of v2.0, it also includes Type 1 versions % of the fonts, used automatically whenever T1 encoding is % selected for the document. This package uses the |\basexii| % algorithm by David Kastrup. % \end{abstract} % % \tableofcontents % % \section{Introduction} % \label{sect:intro} % % While most would probably call it at best overoptimistic and % at worst foolish, some people (the author included) do still % find themselves attracted to the dozenal (base-twelve) % system. These people, however, have been pretty hard % up\footnote{This is an Americanism for ``out of luck'' or % ``in difficult circumstances,'' for those who do not % know.} in the \LaTeX\ world. There is no package file % available which produces dozenal counters, like page and % chapter numbers, nor were there \emph{any} (I made a % pretty diligent search) dozenal characters for ten and % eleven, leaving dozenalists forced to use such makeshift % ugliness as the ``X/E'' or ``T/E'' or ``*/\#'' or whatever % other standard they decided to use. While this sort of % thing may be acceptable in ASCII, it's absolutely % unacceptable in a beautiful, typeset document. % % Enter the |dozenal| package. This package automates all % the messiness of being a dozenalist and using \LaTeX. It % redefines all the counters (though you'll have to redefine % them yourself if you're using your own), provides an % algorithm (generously donated by the intrepid David % Kastrup) for converting arbitrary positive whole numbers % into dozenal (this is e\TeX, but all modern distributions % will compile that), and finally, it includes original % dozenal characters, specifically designed to blend in well % with Knuth's Computer Modern fonts, though they should do % fine with the more common body fonts, as well. % % This document was typeset in accordance with the \LaTeX\ % \textsc{docstrip} utility. % % \section{Usage} % \label{sect:usage} % % The |dozenal| package provides four new commands (though % I can only take credit for two of them). The first, and % by far the most important given the purpose and content of % this package, is |\basexii|\DescribeMacro{\basexii}. This % is a very simple command which takes the following % structure: % \begin{quote} % \cs{basexii}\marg{number}\marg{ten symbol}\marg{eleven symbol} % \end{quote} % What the above means is that the command is |\basexii| and % it takes three mandatory arguments: first, the number to % be converted into dozenal; second, the symbol that should % be used for ten; and third, the symbol that should be used % for eleven. This number should be positive and whole; % that is, it should be zero or higher, and it should not % contain a fractional part. \TeX\ is a typesetting % program, after all; if you want a robust decimal to % dozenal converter, there are many options that any % dozenalists caring enough to use this package will already % know about. % % This |\basexii| algorithm was produced by David Kastrup, % well known and admired in the \TeX\ world for his many % useful packages and other contributions. He posted this % algorithm on comp.text.tex; it is included here with his % kind and generous permission. % % That one would want to use the same ten and eleven symbols % throughout a document seems a reasonable assumption; % therefore, I have provided a simplified version of the % |\basexii| command, |\dozens|\DescribeMacro{\dozens}. % |\dozens| takes only a single argument, the number to be % converted; the ten and eleven symbols used are those % produced by the commands |\x| and |\e|, to which we'll get % in a moment. % % |\x|\DescribeMacro{\x}\ and |\e|\DescribeMacro{\e}\ are the % commands used to quickly and easily access the symbols for % ten and eleven without having to use active characters % (the \TeX\ gurus will know what that means; if you don't % know, that's okay; you don't need to to use this package % effectively). In any case, |\x| and |\e| default to using % the special dozenal characters that are part of this % package; they could be easily redefined if for some reason % you don't like the Pitman characters (which this package, % and the Dozenal Society of Great Britain, prefer), in the % following manner: % \begin{quote} % |\renewcommand\x{X}| % \end{quote} % Or whichever characters you like to use. If you prefer % the Dozenal Society of America's proposed characters (a % stylized X and E), then this package will disappoint you. % May I suggest |$\chi$| ($\chi$) and |$\xi$| ($\xi$) as a % stopgap while you locate or produce real characters of % your own? Sorry; I'm an American myself, but I much % prefer the Pitman characters for a variety of reasons % (feel free to email me if you care), and creating fonts in % \MF, even small and inconsequential ones like this, is too % much work for characters that I don't even like. % % The |dozenal| package also redefines all the standard % \LaTeX\ counters, such as |section| and |enumii|. If % you've defined your own counters, you'll need to define % them yourself; however, this is an easy matter: % \begin{quote} % |\renewcommand\thecounter{\basexii{\arabic{counter}}{\x}{\e}}| % \end{quote} % For example. Of course, you can fill in the |\x| and |\e| % with whatever you want (though it would make more sense to % simply redefine |\x| and |\e|, so that all the counters % would use the same characters), or you could use the % |\dozens| command instead. Whatever your pleasure might % be. % % \section{Implementation} % \label{sect:code} % % First, we name the package that we provide. This is % not exactly the most difficult part of the code. % \begin{macrocode} \ProvidesPackage{dozenal}[2009/11/25 v3.0 support for dozenal fonts] % \end{macrocode} % Now we need to make sure that we have fixltx2e loaded, so % that the |\TextorMath| magic will work. % \begin{macrocode} \RequirePackage{fixltx2e} % \end{macrocode} % We then define the font that we're using for our % \MF-produced Pitman characters. Incidentally, we also % define the command |\doz|, though I can't foresee any % decent use for it except in packages and preambles; it is % then used to define |\x| and |\e|, which provide the ten % and eleven symbols for all the counter redefinitions. % This includes definitions for both T1 and OT1 encodings, % so it will work with either. % \begin{macrocode} \DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{dozch}{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{m}{n}{<-7> dozchars6 <7> dozchars7 <8> dozchars8 <9> dozchars9 <10-11> dozchars10 <12-16> dozchars12 <17-> dozchars17 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{b}{n}{<-> dozchb10 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{bx}{n}{<-6> dozchbx6 <7> dozchbx7 <8> dozchbx8 <9> dozchbx9 <10-11> dozchbx10 <12-> dozchbx12 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{m}{sl}{<-8> dozchsl8 <9> dozchsl9 <10-11> dozchsl10 <12-> dozchsl12 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{bx}{sl}{<-> dozchbxsl10 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{m}{it}{<-7> dozchit7 <8> dozchit8 <9> dozchit9 <10-11> dozchit10 <12-> dozchit12 }{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{dozch}{bx}{it}{<-> dozchbxi10 }{} \pdfmapfile{=fdz.map} \DeclareFontFamily{T1}{dozch}{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{m}{n}{<-> fdzr8r }{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{bx}{n}{<-> fdzb8r }{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{m}{sl}{<-> fdzs8r }{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{bx}{sl}{<-> fdzbo8r }{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{m}{it}{<-> fdzso8r }{} \DeclareFontShape{T1}{dozch}{bx}{it}{<-> fdzbi8r }{} \newcommand\doz[1]{{\fontfamily{dozch}\selectfont #1}} \newcommand\x{\TextOrMath{\protect\doz{{X}}}{\X}}% \newcommand\e{\TextOrMath{\protect\doz{{E}}}{\E}}% \DeclareSymbolFont{dozens}{OT1}{dozch}{m}{n} \DeclareMathSymbol{\X}{\mathord}{dozens}{88} \DeclareMathSymbol{\E}{\mathord}{dozens}{69} % \end{macrocode} % Then we define our command which will produce the dozenal % numbers from decimal sources. This algorithm was taken % directly from the publicly available archives of % comp.text.tex, where it was posted by the well-known and % redoubtable David Kastrup. We also define the |\dozens| % command, a simplified |\basexii| (which, in fact, depends % utterly upon |\basexii|), just to make it easy for % everyone. % \begin{macrocode} \def\basexii#1#2#3{\ifcase\numexpr(#1)\relax 0\or1\or2\or3\or4\or5\or6\or7\or8\or9\or#2\or#3\else \expandafter\basexii\expandafter{\number\numexpr((#1)-6)/12}{#2}{#3}\expandafter\basexii\expandafter{\number\numexpr(#1)-((#1)-6)/12*12}{#2}{#3}\fi} \newcommand\dozens[1]{\basexii{#1}{\x}{\e}} % \end{macrocode} % Now, of course, we simply redefine all the counters. This % covers only those counters included in the basic \LaTeX\ % document classes, however, so if you've written your own, % you'll need to redefine them yourself. % % This first bit ensures that the counters are redefined % even if the command |\mainmatter| is not defined. We have % to do this outside of the |\g@addto@macro| below; % otherwise, in documents where |\mainmatter| is defined but % not used, the counters will not be redefined. This way, % they're redefined in all cases. % \begin{macrocode} \@ifundefined{c@page}{}{\renewcommand\thepage{\basexii{\arabic{page}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@footnote}{}{\renewcommand\thefootnote{\basexii{\arabic{footnote}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@part}{}{\renewcommand\thepart{\basexii{\arabic{part}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@subparagraph}{}{\renewcommand\thesubparagraph{\basexii{\arabic{subparagraph}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@paragraph}{}{\renewcommand\theparagraph{\basexii{\arabic{paragraph}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@equation}{}{\renewcommand\theequation{\basexii{\arabic{equation}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@figure}{}{\renewcommand\thefigure{\basexii{\arabic{figure}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@table}{}{\renewcommand\thetable{\basexii{\arabic{table}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@table}{}{\renewcommand\thempfootnote{\basexii{\arabic{mpfootnote}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumi}{}{\renewcommand\theenumi{\basexii{\arabic{enumi}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumii}{}{\renewcommand\theenumii{\basexii{\arabic{enumii}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumiii}{}{\renewcommand\theenumiii{\basexii{\arabic{enumiii}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumiv}{}{\renewcommand\theenumiv{\basexii{\arabic{enumiv}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@chapter}{% if it's undefined \renewcommand\thesection{\basexii{\arabic{section}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\basexii{\arabic{subsection}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\basexii{\arabic{subsubsection}}{\x}{\e}} } % end undefined {%if it's defined \renewcommand\thechapter{\basexii{\arabic{chapter}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\basexii{\arabic{section}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\basexii{\arabic{subsection}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\basexii{\arabic{subsubsection}}{\x}{\e}} }%end if chapter's defined % \end{macrocode} % Finally, if the ``mainmatter'' command is used, we need to % make sure that it doesn't mess up our numbering scheme. % \begin{macrocode} \@ifundefined{mainmatter}{}{% \g@addto@macro\mainmatter{% \@ifundefined{c@page}{}{\renewcommand\thepage{\basexii{\arabic{page}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@footnote}{}{\renewcommand\thefootnote{\basexii{\arabic{footnote}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@part}{}{\renewcommand\thepart{\basexii{\arabic{part}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@subparagraph}{}{\renewcommand\thesubparagraph{\basexii{\arabic{subparagraph}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@paragraph}{}{\renewcommand\theparagraph{\basexii{\arabic{paragraph}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@equation}{}{\renewcommand\theequation{\basexii{\arabic{equation}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@figure}{}{\renewcommand\thefigure{\basexii{\arabic{figure}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@table}{}{\renewcommand\thetable{\basexii{\arabic{table}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@table}{}{\renewcommand\thempfootnote{\basexii{\arabic{mpfootnote}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumi}{}{\renewcommand\theenumi{\basexii{\arabic{enumi}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumii}{}{\renewcommand\theenumii{\basexii{\arabic{enumii}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumiii}{}{\renewcommand\theenumiii{\basexii{\arabic{enumiii}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@enumiv}{}{\renewcommand\theenumiv{\basexii{\arabic{enumiv}}{\x}{\e}}} \@ifundefined{c@chapter}{% if it's undefined \renewcommand\thesection{\basexii{\arabic{section}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\basexii{\arabic{subsection}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\basexii{\arabic{subsubsection}}{\x}{\e}} } % end undefined {%if it's defined \renewcommand\thechapter{\basexii{\arabic{chapter}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\basexii{\arabic{section}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\basexii{\arabic{subsection}}{\x}{\e}} \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\basexii{\arabic{subsubsection}}{\x}{\e}} } % end if it's defined }} % \end{macrocode} % And that's the end.
