%D This module deals with all kind of conversions from numbers
%D and dates. I considered splitting this module in a support
%D one and a core one, but to keep things simple as well as
%D preserve the overview, I decided against splitting.

%D \macros
%D   {numbers}
%D
%D First we deal with the dummy conversion of numbers using the
%D \TEX\ primitive \type{\number}. The uppercase alternative is
%D only there for compatibility with the other conversion
%D macros. We could do without \type{#1} but this way we get
%D rid of unwanted braces. For the savety we also define a
%D non||sence uppercase alternative.
%D
%D \showsetup{\y!numbers}
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\numbers#1{\number#1}
%D \def\Numbers#1{\number#1}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Due to read ahead, as in \type{[\pagenumber\space]} the space will
%D disappear, unless we use:

\def\numbers#1{\purenumber{#1}}
\def\Numbers#1{\purenumber{#1}}


%D \macros
%D   {romannumerals,Romannumerals}
%D
%D \TEX\ the program uses a rather tricky conversion from
%D numbers to their roman counterparts. This conversion could
%D of course be programmed in \TEX\ itself, but I guess Knuth
%D found the programming trick worth presenting.
%D
%D \showsetup{\y!romannumerals}
%D \showsetup{\y!Romannumerals}
%D
%D When upcasing the result, we just follow the text book rules
%D of expansion. Later on we'll see some more uppercase tricks.

\def\romannumerals#1%
  {\romannumeral#1}

%D For some years we had \unknown
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\Romannumerals#1%
%D   {\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral#1}}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D \unknown but we need to be fully expandable in order to get
%D the utility output file right, so now we have the following
%D solution. It was Patrick Gundlach who first noticed this
%D ommision.

\def\Romannumerals#1%
  {\expandafter\doRomannumerals\number#1\relax}

\def\doRomannumerals#1#2\relax % spaces after ifcase prevent \relax
  {\ifnum#1#2<10
     \ifcase0#1#2 \or I\or II\or III\or IV\or V\or VI\or VII\or VIII\or IX\fi
   \else\ifnum#1#2<100
     \ifcase0#1   \or X\or XX\or XXX\or XL\or L\or LX\or LXX\or LXXX\or XC\fi
     \doRomannumerals#2\relax
   \else\ifnum#1#2<1000
     \ifcase0#1   \or C\or CC\or CCC\or CD\or D\or DC\or DCC\or DCCC\or CM\fi
     \doRomannumerals#2\relax
   \else\ifnum#1#2<4000
     \ifcase0#1   \or M\or MM\or MMM\fi
     \doRomannumerals#2\relax
   \else
     \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral#1#2}%
   \fi\fi\fi\fi}

%D \macros
%D   {character,Character}
%D
%D Converting a number into a character can of course only
%D be done with numbers less or equal to~26. At the cost of
%D much more macros a faster conversion is possible, using:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setvalue{char1}{a} \def\character#1{\getvalue{char#1}}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D But we prefer a simpel \type{\case}.

%D \macros
%D   {characters,Characters}

%D Converting large numbers is supported by the next two
%D macros. This time we just count on: $\cdots$~x, y, z, aa,
%D ab, ac~$\cdots$.

%D \macros
%D   {protectconversion}
%D
%D The previous two commands are not robust enough to be
%D passed to \type{\write} en \type{\message}. That's why we
%D introduce:

\def\protectconversion
  {\def\doconvertcharacters##1{##1}} % was \relax
 %{\def\doconvertcharacters##1{\ifcase0##1 0\else##1\fi}} more save

%D \macros
%D   {normaltime,normalyear,normalmonth,normalday}
%D
%D The last part of this module is dedicated to converting
%D dates. Because we want to use as meaningful commands as
%D possible, and because \TEX\ already uses up some of those,
%D we save the original meanings.

\savenormalmeaning\time
\savenormalmeaning\year
\savenormalmeaning\month
\savenormalmeaning\day

%D \macros
%D   {month,MONTH}
%D
%D Converting the month number into a month name is done
%D using a case statement, abstact values and the label
%D mechanism. This way users can easily redefine a label from
%D for instance german into austrian.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setuplabeltext [de] [january=J\"anner]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Anyhow, the conversion looks like:

\def\doconvertmonth#1%
  {\labeltext
     {\ifcase#1%
      \or \v!january   \or \v!february \or \v!march    \or \v!april
      \or \v!may       \or \v!june     \or \v!july     \or \v!august
      \or \v!september \or \v!october  \or \v!november \or \v!december
      \fi}}

%D We redefine the \TEX\ primitive \type{\month} as:
%D
%D \showsetup{\y!month}
%D \showsetup{\y!MONTH}

\def\month
  {\doconvertmonth}

\def\MONTH#1%
  {{\let\labeltext\LABELTEXT\month{#1}}}

%D We never explicitly needed this, but Tobias Burnus pointed
%D out that it would be handy to convert to the day of the
%D week. In doing so, we have to calculate the total number of
%D days, taking leapyears into account. For those who are
%D curious:
%D
%D \startitemize[packed]
%D \item  years that can be divided by 4 are leapyears
%D \item  exept years that can be divided by 100
%D \item  unless years can be divided by 400
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D This makes the year 1900 into a normal year and 1996 and
%D 2000 into leap years, right? Well, converting to string
%D looks familiar:

\def\doconvertday#1%
  {\labeltext
     {\ifcase#1
      \or \v!sunday   \or \v!monday \or \v!tuesday  \or \v!wednesday
      \or \v!thursday \or \v!friday \or \v!saturday \fi}}

%D \macros
%D   {getdayoftheweek, dayoftheweek}
%D
%D The conversion algoritm is an old one and a translation from
%D a procedure written in MODULA~2 back in the 80's. I finaly
%D found the 4--100-400 rules in some enclopedia. Look at this
%D messy low level routine that takes the day, month and year
%D as arguments:
