Is it possible to change the numeration base of LaTeX? Actually I am looking for base 6.



I would like this change to apply to all counters (TOC, pages, chapters..).
I found this topic How can I make sure that all counters start at 0?
which is almost exactly what I want but I have not a base 10 to base 6 function.

def@roman#1romannumeralBASEVIrelax

makeatother


BASEVI is just a placeholder.

A one liner:



documentclassarticle
usepackageexpl3

ExplSyntaxOn
cs_set:cpn @arabic #1 int_to_base:nn #1 6 
ExplSyntaxOff

begindocument

newcountertest

loopifnumvaluetest<100
 arabictest%
 stepcountertest%
 space
repeat

enddocument


Every counter that's defined to use arabic will print in base six, including page.



enter image description here



Beware: this will break all macros that abuse the<counter> for obtaining the decimal representation of the counter instead of relying on its abstract value.



Better defining a suitable representation and choosing it for representing the counters you need.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day. Off-late, my supervisor has been holding 6-7 hour long "meetin

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain.

"Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
