Local enumeration on the website

[niruvt]

This issue is related to this comment. Auto-generated numerals are Arabic on the website, is there any way to change the script of the numerals. I need Devanagari numerals on my fork for Marathi translation.

Yes we can certainly do that I just experimented here

I hope that's the correct digit sequence, apologies if not.

The code for that is in _includes/toc.html in that test repository but basically means
adding a new array

  {% assign digits="०;,१,२,३,४,५,६,७,८,९,१॰,११,१२,१३,१४,१५,१६,१<७" | split: "," %}

Then (conditionally for mr but in my test I did it always), replace direct use of the number

page.path | replace: '.md','' | replace: pp ,''

by casting to an integer and looking up in the array

{% assign pageno = page.path | replace: '.md','' | replace: pp ,'' | floor%}
{{ digits[pageno] }}

So subject to getting in the conditional tests in the right place we can certainly make this work

Thank you so much for this information.

There is a tiny mistake in number '10'. The symbol used for zero in 10 is wrong and should actually be १०.

Doubts

1. Is the semicolon after the first zero (i.e. {% assign digits="०;) intentional? If yes why?
2. Why are we giving 0-16 numbers? Can't we just map 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 to ०,१,२,३,४,५,६,७,८,९ and the rest can be generated?
3. Is the < between १<७ intentional? Why? Does that mean It will generate the rest of the numbers?

Apart from this thanks for suggesting me the code, but I hardly know this programming language and I don't want to mess things up in my commit history, so is it okay if I ask you to add these few lines as an MR for my fork?

Hey I only got one wrong, better than I hoped, I will correct thanks:-)

Doubts

1. Is the semicolon after the first zero (i.e. `{% assign digits="०;`) intentional? If yes why?

Because I originally wrote this using html &#x...; numeric references then decided to use the characters directly (as the references don't work well in the liquid scripting), and it seems I left a semicolon in by mistake...

2. Why are we giving 0-16 numbers? Can't we just map `0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9` to `०,१,२,३,४,५,६,७,८,९` and the rest can be generated?

That was what I originally intended but liquid scripting is very weird and just having a simple array where the Marathi (or in principle other languages) can simply use digits[number] turned out to be a lot simpler.

3. Is the `<` between `१<७` intentional? Why? Does that mean It will generate the rest of the numbers?

No that is nonsense, I'll delete.

Yes, of course: I was just checking it could work, also I just did it in my test site (which still has the old table of contents layout) we can sort it out later when we merge your files in.

No problem. I see that you have removed it in the MR. That's great.

Okay. So in case I need a number greater than 17, I just have to add it in the above array, right?

I can see your MR. I am merging it and closing this. Thank you so much for this help 😄
