I have two questions.  The first is answered regularly on this net, but
I never needed it before, so I haven't kept the solutions.  I don't
think I've seen the second answered and, while I think I can do it, I am
kind of pressed right now and don't want to reinvent wheels.  First, how
to redefine \raggedright so that hyphenation is allowed and even
encouraged?  This is for very narrow columns.  Second, how to output
formatted numbers, so that with input either the actual number 1000 or
a counter containing that number, the output will be 1,000.  The numbers
I have are all four or five digits, but there is no reason it shouldn't
be perfectly general.
