Re: [NTG-context] spacing: units in math

Hi there,

sorry for being such a pain in the neck.

Is there going to be a solution considering the spacing problems with the use of units (native mkiv command) in near future (within 2-3 weeks)? If there is none and I am not doing something wrong, I'll add a local work around every time I use units. As this is much work, I'd appreciate if someone told me if this is something that might be fixed soon. If not I'm good - I just need to know.

Explanation of my problem: Maybe I am doing something wrong, but in the resulting document the spacing is bigger in math mode then in the text mode in case I use \units{...}. In particular, the distance for the decimal separator is as if I would type $1,2$ instead of $1{,}2$ (example: $\units{1,2}$)..

can you try \appendtoks \disablemathpunctuation \to \everyunits

Thanks.

Cheers, Andreas

Hi,

I still do have problems with a wrong spacing between number and unit in math mode (minimal example below). Clearly, I could do something like

$\alpha = $ \unit{1,2 meter}

but I think this is likely to result in problems with the look of the result in case this is close to a line break.

Cheers, Andreas

%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%% \starttext \unit{1,2 meter} % what I would expect

$\unit{1,2 meter}$ % wrong spacing

$\unit{1{,}2 meter}$ % there is no output after "1" \stoptext %%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%

Hi there,

I encountered some problems with the built in units command in MKIV. I provide a minimal example which should demonstrate my problems. Maybe I am doing something wrong...

\setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \unit{11,1e-1 micro mol per second} \par $\unit{11,1e-1 micro mol per second}$ \par \unit{11,1e-1 per second} \par \unit{11,1e-1 / second} \par \stoptext Don't know for the first two, but the last two should be replaced by: \unit{11,1e-1 inverse second}

All the best.
