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.
