   :synopsis: A set of Django template filters useful for adding a "human
              touch" to data.

A set of Django template filters useful for adding a "human touch" to data.

To activate these filters, add ``'django.contrib.humanize'`` to your
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting. Once you've done that, use
``{% load humanize %}`` in a template, and you'll have access to the following
filters.

.. templatefilter:: apnumber

apnumber
--------

For numbers 1-9, returns the number spelled out. Otherwise, returns the
number. This follows Associated Press style.

Examples:

    * ``1`` becomes ``one``.
    * ``2`` becomes ``two``.
    * ``10`` becomes ``10``.

You can pass in either an integer or a string representation of an integer.

.. templatefilter:: intcomma

intcomma
--------

Converts an integer to a string containing commas every three digits.

Examples:

    * ``4500`` becomes ``4,500``.
    * ``45000`` becomes ``45,000``.
    * ``450000`` becomes ``450,000``.
    * ``4500000`` becomes ``4,500,000``.

You can pass in either an integer or a string representation of an integer.

.. templatefilter:: intword

intword
-------

Converts a large integer to a friendly text representation. Works best for
numbers over 1 million.

Examples:

    * ``1000000`` becomes ``1.0 million``.
    * ``1200000`` becomes ``1.2 million``.
    * ``1200000000`` becomes ``1.2 billion``.

Values up to 1000000000000000 (one quadrillion) are supported.

You can pass in either an integer or a string representation of an integer.

.. templatefilter:: naturalday

naturalday
----------

.. versionadded:: 1.0

For dates that are the current day or within one day, return "today",
"tomorrow" or "yesterday", as appropriate. Otherwise, format the date using
the passed in format string.

**Argument:** Date formatting string as described in the :tfilter:`date` tag.

Examples (when 'today' is 17 Feb 2007):

    * ``16 Feb 2007`` becomes ``yesterday``.
    * ``17 Feb 2007`` becomes ``today``.
    * ``18 Feb 2007`` becomes ``tomorrow``.
    * Any other day is formatted according to given argument or the
      :setting:`DATE_FORMAT` setting if no argument is given.

.. templatefilter:: ordinal

ordinal

Converts an integer to its ordinal as a string.

Examples:

    * ``1`` becomes ``1st``.
    * ``2`` becomes ``2nd``.
    * ``3`` becomes ``3rd``.
