dec2base(x, base, drop_leading = TRUE, width = 1L)

dec2alpha(x, lower = FALSE, ...)

`x`	Vector of non-negative integers to convert
`base`	Either a positive integer specifying the base number or a character string of the symbols to use for the base. If `base` is a number, then the default symbols are: 0, ..., 9, A, ..., Z.
`drop_leading`	If `TRUE`, for positive numbers, any leading zeros are dropped.
`width`	Minimum width of the strings, they will be padded with zeros to at least that length.
`lower`	If `TRUE`, use lower case letters as well as upper case letters.
`...`	Arguments passed to `dec2base`.

A character vector of the integers in the new base

dec2alpha: Since LaTeX doesn't support numbers in command names, encode numbers in base 26 with letters A-Z, or base 52 using both upper and lowercase letters. Note that this means that A=0, B=1, ... . An alternative is to use Roman numerals instead; see as.roman.
