%
% The package implements the smart comma in math mode.
% Let us compare this solution with the concurrent solution from
% the |icomma| package by Walter Schmidt:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item In |icomma|, a comma in math works as the
% punctuation mark if a space goes after it. Otherwise,
% it work as an ordinary character;
% \item In |ncccomma|, a comma in math works as an ordinary
% character if a decimal character goes after it.
% Otherwise, it works as a punctuation mark.
% \end{itemize}
% The solution used in this package is more expansive because
% we compare the next character with up to ten decimal chars.
% But this solution needs less number of spaces to be inserted into
% original document (the space is only necessary in the place
% of a comma delimiting something and a decimal number).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\mathcomma}
% The original math comma is saved in the |\mathcomma| macro.
% This macro is useful together with the |dcolumn| package.
% If a comma should be \emph{printed} as the
% decimal separator in a column of type |D|, it must be specified
% as |{\mathcomma}|, rather than |{,}|, since the latter
% leads to an error. For example:
% \begin{quote}
% |\begin{tabular}{D{,}{\mathcomma}{-1}}|
% \end{quote}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ordcommalist}
% The list of decimal characters is saved in the |\ordcommalist|.
% It initial definition is
% \begin{quote}
% |\newcommand\ordcommalist{0123456789}|
% \end{quote}
% You can redefine it if necessary.
%
% \StopEventually{}
%
% \section{The Implementation}
%
% We save the original comma in |\mathcomma| and then specify
% the comma to be an active char in math.
% \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
\mathchardef\mathcomma\mathcode`\,
\mathcode`\,="8000
% \end{macrocode}
% No we define the meaning of comma using the well-known trick with
% upper case.
% \begin{macrocode}
\bgroup
\uccode`\~`\,%
\uppercase{%
\egroup
\def~}{\futurelet\@let@token\NCC@comma}
% \end{macrocode}
% The smart comma compares the next char with a character of the
% |\ordcommalist| in cycle. This cycle is a bit expansive,
% but it is the payment for smartness.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\ordcommalist{0123456789}
\def\NCC@comma{%
\let\@tempb\@empty
\expandafter\@tfor\expandafter\@tempa\expandafter:\expandafter=%
\ordcommalist\do{%
\expandafter\ifx\@tempa\@let@token
\let\@tempb\mathord \@break@tfor
\fi
}%
\@tempb\mathcomma
}
%</package>
