Summary description: Mayan numerals and vigesimal notation with positional floor colors
Announcement text:
Version 1.0.2 aligns the documentation with the 1.0.1 code base: the title page, the configuration section and the change history now describe the deferred configuration via AddToHook, the e-expansion and the group locality suggested by Enrico Gregorio. Code unchanged.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/mayanumber The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/unicodetex/latex/mayanumber/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

Mayanumber – Mayan numerals and vigesimal notation with positional floor colors
This package typesets decimal integers of any magnitude as Mayan numerals (dots and bars, Unicode block U+1D2E0-U+1D2F3) or as vigesimal alphabetic notation (0-9, A-J), for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Each positional floor can be colored with a seven-color cycle (earth, water, vegetation, life, sky, sun, universe). Options: vertical/horizontal layout, colors/nocolor, scale and alignment; the starred form prints the alphabetic notation. The base-20 conversion uses long division over the decimal string, so magnitudes are unbounded. Requires the free font BabelStone Mayan Numerals. Extends the original macro by @egreg (TeX StackExchange, answer 452806).
