Module:foreign numerals/documentation

This module provides conversion to and from foreign numerals to native numerical values. It's partially redundant with Module:roman numerals.

Numeral system	"From" function	"To" function
Roman numerals	from_Roman	to_Roman
Armenian numerals	from_Armenian	—
Hebrew numerals	from_Hebrew	to_Hebrew
Indian numerals	from_Indian	to_Indian

Each function may be called either from a template (see below) or from a module. "From" functions return native numerical values (of 'number' type), while "to" functions return strings.

Example:

{{#invoke:foreign numerals|to_Roman|2764}}

gives

MMDCCLXIV

And the reverse function:

{{#invoke:foreign numerals|from_Roman|MMDCCLXIV}}

gives

2764

This module serves as a backend to the templates {{R2A}} and {{A2R}}.
