In my previous post, I discussed some stuff, and I wrote some numbers down.
1,000,000
95,163
100,000
91,000
90,909.090909090…
95,162.58
Before I inserted the commas into the numbers, I found that it was easy to make mistakes by writing 100000 instead of 1000000. Generally, that was hard to read. However, 91000 isn’t hard to read, and neither are 95162.58 or 95163. So in the previous post I inserted the numbers.
The point of this post is that while previously, I always refrained from putting period separators into numbers, I have now changed my attitude, slightly.
I would also consider using thin spaces as the digit grouping separator, as suggested in Jukka K. Korpela’s epic, Math in HTML (and CSS). However, that would take too much effort.
It would be nice to have a variant of Markdown that took sections bounded by dollar signs, as seen in LaTeX, and converted them to HTML and CSS in the ways that document recommends.
