/**
* This package provides classes associated with numbering and the xsl:number
instruction.
* It is possible to extend the range of numberings available by providing a Numberer
* for a specific language. This must be registered with the Configuration
.
* In earlier releases, there was a fixed relationship between the language and the
* implementing class (the Numberer was always named Numberer_xx where xx is the language code,
* corresponding to the value of the lang attribute in xsl:number
). From Saxon 9.2,
* this relationship no longer exists.
* These classes also include code to support the localization of dates as defined
* in the XSLT format-dateTime()
group of functions.
* The class Numberer_en
provides the standard numbering options. As well as the
* format tokens defined in the XSLT 1.0 specification (for example, "1", "001", "a", "i") it supports
* other numbering options including:
*
* - Greek upper and lower case letters
* - Cyrillic upper and lower case letters
* - Hebrew letters
* - Japanese: Hiragana-A, Hiragana-B, Katakana-A, or Katakana-B letters, and Kanji digits
* - English words: the format token "one" produces numbers such as "twenty five"
*
* Localizations for a number of European languages are provided in package net.sf.saxon.option.local
.
* In Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE these are issued in binary form as part of the Saxon JAR. For Saxon-HE, they are
* issued only in source code form.
