Text Formatting ⇒ How to have superscript ordinal numerals?

[clemens]

Hello, I have in my text lots of 1st, 30th, 2nd, etc. and I would like to have the letters to be in superscript.
Is there a command to do it in the entire text?
I am using TexLive (XeTex) with Lyx.
Cheers

Code: Select all

1\textsuperscript{st}

The engord package is able to do this automatically.

Thank you

Hi, actually I am having some trouble
I　am using Lyx and what I did was to put the userpackage in the latex preamble of the document \userpackage[normal]{engord}, then at the beginning of the document \engordraisetrue, but nothing happened.
I also tried putting the cmmand \engordnumber{1} but nothing. What should I do?
There are so many ordinals in my text and doing them one by one would be really time consuming

The "normal" option you are giving engord is causing "st", etc. to be set as normal text. Removing it (i.e. just having "\usepackage{engord}" )should fix it.
