The additive-symbols descriptor lets you specify symbols when the value of a counter system descriptor is additive. The additive-symbols descriptor defines additive tuples, each of which is a pair containing a symbol and a non-negative integer weight. The additive system is used to construct sign-value numbering systems such as Roman numerals.

additive-symbols

The additive-symbols descriptor lets you specify symbols when the value of a counter system descriptor is additive. The additive-symbols descriptor defines additive tuples, each of which is a pair containing a symbol and a non-negative integer weight. The additive system is used to construct sign-value numbering systems such as Roman numerals.

Syntax

additive-symbols: 3 "0"; additive-symbols: 3 "0", 2 "\2E\20"; additive-symbols: 3 "0", 2 url(symbol.png); 

When the system descriptor is cyclic, numeric, alphabetic, symbolic, or fixed, use the symbols descriptor instead of additive-symbols.
