[chequeboxes]

Description

I use this tag as part of a pdf generator which prints the digit names in boxes on a cheque. Just pass it the amount and the number of digits (optional) and it will return an array with them in. If the number of digits is less than required it will pad them with 'zeros'.

Sample Usage

[chequeboxes: -amount='500',-digits='5']
