# Romantic 🏛 > **Roman numeral library for Rust.** ## API For full documentation see [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/romantic). ## Examples Using the default Roman numeral system. ```rust use romantic::Roman; let roman = Roman::default(); assert_eq!(roman.to_string(2022).unwrap(), "MMXXII"); assert_eq!(roman.from_str::("MMXXII").unwrap(), 2022); // The default Roman numeral system has a maximum of 3999. assert!(roman.to_string(4000).is_err()); ``` Using your own custom character set. ```rust use romantic::Roman; // The order of characters in the array determines their value. // Here, A equals 1 and B equals 5. let custom = Roman::new(&['A', 'B']); assert_eq!(custom.to_string(6).unwrap(), "BA"); assert_eq!(custom.from_str::("BA").unwrap(), 6); // With only 2 characters, the maximum value you can get is 8 // (the equivalent of VIII). To increase the maximum range, use // more characters. assert!(custom.to_string(9).is_err()); ``` ## Development With [Nix flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) and [direnv](https://direnv.net/) installed and enabled, all the required dependencies are automatically loaded from [`shell.nix`](./shell.nix). Then [cargo-make](https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/) can be used to build, deploy and lint the code. The available tasks are all described in the [`Makefile.toml`](Makefile.toml) configuration. ## Feedback Found a problem or want to request a new feature?
