Name of contribution: fmtcount Author's name: Nicola Talbot Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fmtcount Summary description: Display the value of a LaTeX counter in a variety of formats. License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Version 1.09:
Added upper case variants ORDINALstring etc. (MakeUppercase{ordinalstring{<counter>}} and similar variations don't work because of the way MakeUppercase expands its argument).
Added facility to store results for later use (to compensate for the fact that commands like ordinalstring don't work in edef etc)
Some of the language related internals have been changed, and have been made robust. (If you use extdate in the datetime package, you will also need to update the datetime package.)
The catalogue entry may be viewed at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fmtcount.html (it will be updated overnight).
You can have a look at the package at http://http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fmtcount
