# |apnumber

spells out one through nine, AP style.

## Documentation

Follows the Associated Press style rule for numbers in prose: spell out one through nine, use figures for 10 and above.

### Template

```django
{% load humanize %}
<p>{{ 3|apnumber }} comments</p>
<p>{{ 42|apnumber }} comments</p>
```

### Result

```django
<p>three comments</p>
<p>42 comments</p>
```

Values outside one through nine are returned unchanged, so it is safe to apply to a whole column of numbers.
