Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
The unit "farad" exists.
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft \unit{10 F} \unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad] \setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t \unit{10 F} \unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing up other units?
The unit for feet is "foot" and "ft" is a combination of a prefix (femto) and a unit (tonne). You can list the individual parts in the log file with the "physics.units" tracker. To get a short unit you have to use the following method (it works because farad exists): \registerunitshortcut [F=farad] Wolfgang
