[NTG-context] Spelling out chapter numbers for novels.
It is now fashionable in the U.S. (and maybe elsewhere) to use a
spelled-out chapter number in novels. Not finding a function to convert
from a number register to a text string I created a brute force file
that looks like this:
--
\def\chapstring{\ifcase\currentheadnumber\or
One\or
Two\or
Three\or
Four\or
Five\or
Six\or
Seven\or
Eight\or
Nine\or
Ten\or
...
Ninety-eight\or
Ninety-nine\else
One hundred\fi}
This file enables authors to rearrange chapters without worrying
about renumbering the chapters since it depends on \currentheadnumber.
I wonder if there is a function in Context or elsewhere that does this
for me?
If not, anyone who wants the complete file can write me for a copy. It
might save you ten minutes or so :<)
