But I do > not know about the others. That is why I was asking :) That's a complex topic unfortunately. I prefer "1 000 000" too, but many would prefer "1,000,000", others would prefer "1'000'000", and in India many would even prefer "1,00,0000" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousands_separator#Examples_of_use). The cleanest solution would be to use something that cares about the LC_NUMERIC environment variable. sprintf() can do such things, but I'm not aware of any possibility to do that in elisp. =2D-=20 Thomas/Schnouki --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJO8Si5AAoJEMPdciX+bh5IDdQH/2epULrVn9NL9LDwvU4fR6+U mu2mRtM5Z87atRyOhU3pdXVtsnkq2Mv9astyhB/9hsN4t3pbPSS5ZHTq0BK/VbxV OCR/DQj6QqqwxIucK3QmiT6DCIvvhB88pavuD6arjDQAMYQCBktnUn+uJbyge678 I3h2FEsCWvXkULfVRIfDcAIkpp9EJ7xf40UCUcntbv07BQieJ/naP/FUS76ORVud r0Mf3DQBfBCJ2WM8/7bDHPB+jdbwXz5BstbJrqwZk2IKFO3Dw0rX/WBEp39EaXq7 wyabJjSLcTeI7CVbk4Q2pr4srTJ96TJ9MC0ZvphPBi4dLica65SQPMDDSeUTncE= =M5W7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
