Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Abbreviation of "Number"

[marie2011]

Dear forum members,

I was wondering if you could help me with this problem. Actually I should have N.° when giving this command, but it does not work.

Here is my minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
12pt,%
%  draft,%
  twoside,%
  BCOR10mm,%
%  bibtotocnumbered,% <= obsolete
toc=listof,
toc=bibliography,
numbers=noenddot
]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,ngerman,catalan,spanish]{babel}

\newcommand*\numer{N"o}
\newcommand*\nume{N"o}

\begin{document}
\numer
\nume
\end{document}

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers and best regards,

Marie

Maybe the following is what you are looking for.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\newcommand*\platypus{\textup{\textbf{N.}}\ensuremath{^\circ}}

\begin{document}
\platypus
\end{document}

N.B. I am not sure if swapping the order of \textup and \textbf makes any difference.

I know this abbreviation typeset a bit different. What about this?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{xspace}

\newcommand*{\Num}{N\textsuperscript{o}\xspace}

\begin{document}
  \Num
\end{document}

Hello Thorsten,

Many thanks for your contribution. I will try that one as well.

What about this?...

Thorsten's method is probably better. Use this, Maria.

The \xspace command is a good idea; it gives the correct spacing after the symbol.

Many thanks to both of you. Everything works fine now.
