roman numeralsunicodexetex
As mentioned in How can I get Roman numerals in text?, there are several ways in which one can add Roman numerals to text in TeX. However, these solutions all seem to use three I's to make a roman numeral 3, rather than combining using the "Number forms" symbols found in many fonts such as "Ⅲ".
Is there a way to get XeTeX to render all of the Roman numerals in a document using the special Roman numeral symbols found in many fonts?
Apparently this bug is caused by the mapping=tex-text option (and its Ligatures=TeX equivalent), which translates things like -- into the en-dash, and so forth. I can't seem to find any related bugs using Google...
If I understand you right, it seems like you are after in-line lists that are numbered in Roman numerals. I think the enumitem package is up to the job for this kind of thing.
\documentclass[preview,border=5]{standalone}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\newlist{inlineroman}{enumerate*}{1}
\setlist[inlineroman]{itemjoin*={{, and }},afterlabel=~,label=\roman*.}
\newcommand{\inlinerom}[1]{
\begin{inlineroman}
#1
\end{inlineroman}
}
\newlist{Inlineroman}{enumerate*}{1}
\setlist[Inlineroman]{itemjoin*={{, and }},afterlabel=~,label=\Roman*.}
\newcommand{\InlineRom}[1]{
\begin{Inlineroman}
#1
\end{Inlineroman}
}
\begin{document}
I would like to cite some properties. Here are the properties listed in-line using small Roman numerals: \inlinerom{\item first, \item second \item third.}
Here are other properties listed as capital Roman numerals: \InlineRom{\item First property \item Second property \item Third property.}
\end{document}
