Hello<br>
My code http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Roman_numerals/Encode#Prolog works in both ways Roman => Arabic and Arabic => Roman. It can be published in this page. [[user:Trap D]] 13/05/2011 18:25

though modern rules say such a construct is invalid, the number still has an equivalent decimal number. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 03:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC) ▼
Furthermore, the Latin word for '''eighteen''' is '''duodeviginti''' which literally means '''two-from-twenty''', or in Roman numbers; '''IIXX'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 21:34, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to fix a problem I'm having with the overbar template which, for some reason, decides to italicize the text after the overbarred characters "for twenty-thousand"?
<br>The offending code is in the REXX program, version 4. People should never give a loaded gun to kids. Pardon me if this isn't the right place to ask this type of question. I couldn't find any other usage of overbars in Rossetta Code.
<br>I can "fix" the overbar/italicizing problem by putting the "for twenty-thousand" on a new line (via the html "br").
<br>Also, I would like to express how to display an HTML tag without HTML "using" it (as in the previous line). I assume that there's some type of escape character(s). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 03:38, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
It was a stray newline in the [[Template:Overline]] which I just now fixed. If you want to talk about HTML then you can escape it in the usual fashion, &amp;br>, or you can use <nowiki><no</nowiki><nowiki>wiki><br></no</nowiki>wiki>. HTML inside of <lang> blocks is also not interpreted. —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 19:37, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

==Roman numeral, returning an integer==
This task asks to take a Roman numeral (as its argument) and return a numeric decimal integer. This assumes that the Roman numeral is an integer.
What if the Roman numeral contains (or is) a fraction?
I presume then, that Roman numerals to be checked won't have fractions. The Romans had a base '''12''' fractional system. One-twelfth (fraction) is an ''ounce'' which we still use in (for weight) pounds and ounces, where the troy pound contains 12 ounces. An '''ounce''' is also used as a unit of time. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 07:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
:We aren't doing fractions here. In general "Roman numerals" refers to the the integers. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:50, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
