Editing Ordinal indicator (section)

=== French ===
[[French language|French]] uses the ordinal indicators ''{{lang|fr|<sup>er</sup>}}'' and ''{{lang|fr|<sup>re</sup>}}'' for the number 1, depending on gender (masculine ''{{lang|fr|1<sup>er</sup> – premier}}''; feminine ''{{lang|fr|1<sup>re</sup> – première}}'').
It uses ''{{lang|fr|<sup>e</sup>}}'' for higher numbers (for instance ''{{lang|fr|2<sup>e</sup> – deuxième}}'').
French also uses the indicators ''{{lang|fr|<sup>d</sup>}}'' and ''{{lang|fr|<sup>de</sup>}}'' for the alternative second ordinal number (masculine {{lang|fr|2<sup>d</sup> – second}}; feminine {{lang|fr|2<sup>de</sup> – seconde}}).
In plural, all these indicators are suffixed with an ''s'': ''{{lang|fr|<sup>ers</sup>}}'' (''{{lang|fr|1<sup>ers</sup> – premiers}}''), ''{{lang|fr|<sup>res</sup>}}'' (''{{lang|fr|1<sup>res</sup> – premières}}''), ''{{lang|fr|<sup>es</sup>}}'' (''{{lang|fr|2<sup>es</sup> – deuxièmes}}''), ''{{lang|fr|<sup>ds</sup>}}'' (''{{lang|fr|2<sup>ds</sup> – seconds}}''), {{lang|fr|<sup>des</sup>}} (''{{lang|fr|2<sup>des</sup> – secondes}}'').

Although regarded as incorrect by typographic standards, longer forms are in wide usage: ''{{lang|fr|<sup>ère</sup>}}'' for feminine 1 (''{{lang|fr|1<sup>ère</sup> – première}}'')), ''{{lang|fr|<sup>ème</sup>}}'' for numbers starting at 2 (for instance ''{{lang|fr|2<sup>ème</sup> – deuxième}}''), ''{{lang|fr|<sup>nd</sup>}}'' and ''{{lang|fr|<sup>nde</sup>}}'' for the alternative second ordinal number (''{{lang|fr|2<sup>nd</sup> – second}}''; ''{{lang|fr|2<sup>nde</sup> – seconde}}'')

These indicators use superscript formatting whenever it is available.
