Converting numerals to text
Is there a command or macro that converts a numeral to its English language equivalent? For example, I would like to display Thirteen for 13. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

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? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

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?
If you want every word to be capitalized, simply change one, two, three, etc in the source of \numstr to One, Two, Three. Aditya
