Guided Tour: Numbers
When writing numbers please remember that
- you should use a comma to separate the integer and the fractional parts.
- instead of a comma, a dot, or a space to separate groups of
3 digits (thousands, millions, and so forth) you have to use the
denotation
\sepmil. - ordinal numbers should be written as, for instance, 1.o, or 2.a, or 3.os; or, if your keyboard allows it, 1o, or 2a, or 3os.
Try out the following example:
The [Portuguese] Republic was declared on 5 October 1910. Let us see
some ensuing facts, like: 1.o, there being
5\sepmil960\sepmil000
Portugueses according to the 1911 census; 2.o, the currency devaluation
attained a percentage of 17,5 em 1914.
With what you have seen so far you are able to prepare any text that has no mathematical expressions, like Paradise Lost or The Pickwick Papers.
