<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Note_for_Improvements:">Note for Improvements:</span></h2>
<p>1. Add to the numbers definition that numbers can include decimal point values (and reference the fact that WML will remove any unnecessary 0's when it performs the calculations or accesses the numerical value in question).
</p><p>2. Finish chapters 6-11 (Partially Complete)
