I'm thinking about this for last two days and have some concerns. 
Chapters are spelled out like First, Second and so on, but Croatian has 
three genders and masculinum should be used in Calc when turning 
spelling out numbers, but in Writer - for chapter numbers - neutrum 
makes more sense but I doubt default format support both.

Current version of Croatian Numbertext is at

    https://github.com/krunose/hr-numbertext

and any advice would be much appreciated. Didn't include this to 
Numbertext.org as decimal number should be done first, but I guess this 
whole spell out thing might speed things up...

Thanks,
Kruno
