Re: [NTG-context] Automatic thousands separation in \unit

Hi Marco, Can this give what you wish? \define[2]\myunit{\spaceddigits{#1}\unit{#2}} \starttext \myunit{123456789}{volt} \stoptext

Hi!

I'm wondering if there's a way to have automatic thousands separation in the \unit command? \spaceddigits does that, but it doesn't work inside \unit. And using both would be quite verbose to write. Example:

\starttext %% no thousands separation \unit{123456789 volt}

%% manual thousands separation works \unit{123,456,789 volt}

%% automatic thousands separation, but not using \unit \let\spaceddigitsseparator, \spaceddigits{123456789}\,V

%% fails, no output \unit{\spaceddigits{123456789} volt} \stoptext
