http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_numbering_in_words http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/33962/focus=34304 (there is an attachment t-counting.tex in that thread) Mojca The wiki includes the code for a macro, \numstr, that can be used to create lower-case chapter numbers, but when I try to capitalize the first word, get error messages. For example, the following errors out: Chapter \Word{\numstr{23}} As does Chapter \Words{\numstr{23}} but Chapter \numstr{23} Works as does Chapter \Words{twenty-three} However, the former returns twenty-three (all lower case) and the latter returns Twenty-three (only the first part is in upper case) It's not clear from the Chicago Manual of Style if three should be capitalized in this instance but, to my eye, it doesn't look right. Is there a way to convert chapter numbers to text and select the desired capitalization?
