Hello
My code http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Roman_numerals/Encode#Prolog works in both ways Roman => Arabic and Arabic => Roman. It can be published in this page. user:Trap D 13/05/2011 18:25
Roman numeral numbers
I feel that any legal Roman numeral number (such as IIII should be converted correctely and without error. The Romans started using IV (and others) after they realized the praticableness of shortening their numbers, especially those having 8s in them; easily
justified when chiseling those numbers in stone or scribing them in wet clay.
Also, numbers such as IIXX should also be converted correctly, as they do appear on old structures and tombstones. Even
though modern rules say such a construct is invalid, the number still has an equivalent decimal number. -- Gerard Schildberger 03:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
asking for help
Does anyone know how to fix a problem I'm having with the overbar template which, for some reason, decides to italicize the text after the overbarred characters "for twenty-thousand"?
The offending code is in the REXX program, version 4. People should never give a loaded gun to kids. Pardon me if this isn't the right place to ask this type of question. I couldn't find any other usage of overbars in Rossetta Code.
I can "fix" the problem by put the "for twnety-thousand" on a new line (via the html "br").
Also, I would like to express how to display an HTML tag without HTML "using" it. I assume that there's some type of escape character(s). -- Gerard Schildberger 03:38, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
