I am typesetting some Indian currency using spreadtab for calculations. I want to obey the usual conventions followed in typesetting Indian money amounts:
- One thousand (hazar) = 1,000
- One lakh = 1,00,000.
- One crore = 1,00,00,000.
- One urb = 1,00,00,00,000.
- One khurb = 1,00,00,00,00,000.
The last two mentioned are uncommon. People prefer to say Rs 77,000 Cr. instead of Rs 770 urb.
This is unlike most other currencies (including German/British/US currencies) where you have uniform separators after every n (usually 3) zeros.
In Indian currency, the separators are after every two zeros, except for the first set, which is after three zeros.
I have looked at the documentation of numprint, but I do not think it can be done using that package (or siunitx for that matter).
Suggestions?
