Summary description: Fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places
Announcement text:
### Changed - `CHANGES.md` renamed to `CHANGELOG.md` following https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/ - The initial values of `currency` and `didec/currency-negative` are now set to `euro`. Previously, no currency symbol was used (in contrast to the tutorial and examples). - The styles `german`, `english`, `french`, and `float`, which set `decimal-separator` and `grouping-separator`, no longer modify currency settings. Previously, they removed currency settings, which was not obvious. - Some stylistic revisions in the documentation. ### Fixed - Documentation produced with `minted2` instead of `minted` (currently not compatible to Python>=3.14) - Obsolete (and now faulty) package loading of `l3benchmark` removed from the documentation (it is part of l3kernel since June 2025)
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/didec The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/didec/

didec – Fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places
This package supports fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places (di-decimal) which is typical for financial transactions in many currencies.
The intended use case is (personal) bookkeeping.
