Your answer is so instructive, You could just as well not waste the time to write anything.

Ok I'll elaborate. Yes it is possible, but first you need a PHP function that changes numbers to words, something like number2word($number) {...} (If you have trouble writing that, there are plenty of general PHP developer sources around the web.) Once you have that accomplished, you can write a plugin (modifier) to run your variable through that function such as {$myvar|num2word}. The instructions for how to implement a modifier plugin are very clearly defined in the online documentation.

You could also search and see if this has been done before, which it appears jacz has done this work for you.

Is that more helpful?
