Hello,
which is the most correct way to display units (here: kN) in math formula?
---- \starttext \startformula a = 210 kN % "kN" is shown like a variable (here: like 'a'), which is unwanted \stopformula
\startformula a = 210 \unit{kN} % No unit is displayed (?!) \stopformula
\startformula a = 210 \text{~kN} % '~' required?, ugly way \stopformula \stoptext ----
The units code doesn’t know how to deal with “N” but you can use the full name of the unit (can also be lowercase) or “n” which is also accepted. \starttext \startformula a = \unit{210 kilo Newton} \stopformula \startformula a = 210 \unit{kilo Newton} \stopformula \startformula a = 210 \unit{k Newton} \stopformula \startformula a = 210 \unit{kn} \stopformula \stoptext Wolfgang
