The icomma package (stands for "intellifent comma"), remove the small space between the comma and the following number.
For example, if you type: "1,45", LaTeX insert a small space between the comma and the number 4. With icomma package, this space is removed. The name "intelligent" is because it try to identify when to remove the space. If you type a tuple (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the icomma package determine that it is not a number and insert the space as usual. It is just a very small cosmetic change. Most people I know does not care to this, and just forget the small space in the number. --- Diego Queiroz 2011/4/12 Julien Rioux <jri...@physics.utoronto.ca> > On 12/04/2011 10:19 PM, Diego Queiroz wrote: > >> The "Align on decimal" feature in tables are really very useful. >> Therefore, in portuguese we use a comma as the decimal separator. >> >> In future releases, should be a good idea to include in the document >> configuration some place to determine these regional configurations. >> >> > I saw this setting somewhere, but I can't remember right now.
