Hello, This is probably a very trivial question, but I'm not sure how TeX works in that respect. I'm used to use a macro \def\unit#1{{\rm\ #1} in constructs such as $1\unit{cm^2} \times 2\unit{cm}$. However I figured out that the contents of \unit{} cannot be broken accross lines, most probably because this becomes an hbox. Is there any simple workaround? Thanks a lot, Mojca
