Re: [NTG-context] Math and units

\startformula a = 21407 g \stopformula :) The units code should certainly know how to deal with "N"... Alan On Thu, 4 Oct 2012 11:32:20 +0200 Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

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
