- I have two questions. The first is answered regularly on this net, but
- I never needed it before, so I haven't kept the solutions. I don't
- think I've seen the second answered and, while I think I can do it, I am
- kind of pressed right now and don't want to reinvent wheels. First, how
- to redefine \raggedright so that hyphenation is allowed and even
- encouraged? This is for very narrow columns. Second, how to output
- formatted numbers, so that with input either the actual number 1000 or
- a counter containing that number, the output will be 1,000. The numbers
- I have are all four or five digits, but there is no reason it shouldn't
- be perfectly general.
