I don't think the /unit and /lunit command like a quantity that starts with a zero.. Any one else?


First two work fine, last one causes all kinds of grief, in lists, lines etc. The leading zero and decimal point are zapped.

\unit{1.0 meter inverse second}

\lunit{1.0 meter inverse second}

\unit{0.1 meter inverse second}

\lunit{0.1 meter inverse second}

\lunit{0 meter inverse second}


And pretty, please, can we spell metre correctly soon ( sorry, people over the pond…)

You should first provide a *working* minimal example!

\starttext
\lunit{1.0 meter inverse second}
\stoptext

! Undefined control sequence. l.2 \lunit           {1.0 meter inverse second}

… Or at least have the option to…

This is easy, Hans has to add only an entry for “metre” in phys-dim.lua.

I did have a play with the units primitives (at lua level),which fixed it for me, and made some suggestions to Hans.. Along with many other people also making suggestions, I'm sure. I had quite a few suggestions to improve the units module for everyone who speaks SI.

On the other front I now have a saved search to swap metre to meter, but it does no make me happy!

However the leading zero is a new(to me) issue… I'm a bit surprised that no-one else found it.
