What a lame excuse, “si” is easier to remember than “su” and even though the code isn’t limited to si units this isn’t a good reason to avoid the name.
I don't like \su either but I needed something that related to \unit (which is what I prefer) but the problem is that one then cannot us the m-units module at the same time. Well, I could save \unit when loading it, and one can wonder if they will be used mixed anyway so we might end up with \unit. We have a \m (inline math) macro and I'd like a one character one for units and digits and these could be \u and \d if we can assume that everyone uses utf (we could make them accent commands while dealing with bibtex).
and it's also a language tag.
Not for ConTeXt:
\starttext \show\si \stoptext
\si=undefined.
anyway, afaik si is relates to slovenian
Collision between language tags a context commands do exist since a long time, e.g. \sl or \it.
which is bad enough (I wonder if we'd have \it as font switch if italian had been needed in an earlier stage -)
Yes i know you have it also commented in the source but the input is too strict and expect something where you can write
not that code, it's specific digits code not yet in the distribution
10000.00
and depending on the setup you can get
- 10.000,00 - 10\,000.00 - 10\,000,00 - ...
currently the units code just uses the predefined number scanner (I needed a quick hack) but it will get the digits scanner Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
