Summary description: Cistercian numerals in LaTeX
Announcement text:
The xistercian package allows to use Cistercian numerals (a number system developed by Cistercian monks in the late Middle Ages). They can describe numbers up to 9999 as a single glyph. xistercian adds a counter-formatting macro, as well as a macro to format literal input. The shapes are customisable to a degree. Both horizontal and vertical forms are provided.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/xistercian The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/xistercian/

xistercian – Cistercian numerals in LaTeX
xistercian allows you to use Cistercian numerals in LaTeX. The glyphs are created using PGF and to a certain degree configurable. You can use Cistercian numerals as page numbers using \pagenumbering{cistercian}. The two main macros are:
- \cistercian{<counter>} formats the LaTeX2ε counter as a Cistercian numeral
- \cisterciannum{<integer>} formats the integer (given as a string) as a Cistercian numeral
