you can look at phys-dim and see plenty of short and long keys and making all case insensitive is asking for troubles
Indeed, I would like to make NONE of them case insensitive. But currently, when I register an upper case key (C=coulomb) it messes up the lower case prefix (“cm" gets typeset as C•m). I was expecting the parser to distinguish between the “C” and “c”, but it doesn’t. Is that intended?
I added an option and an extra registers but it's up to you to decide hwo to use it (and how to deal with conflicts in definitions). \registerunit [unit] [Point=PT, point=pt, Basepoint=BP, % basepoint=bp, ] \registerunitshortcut [unit] [C=coulomb] \startlines 10 \unit {square meter per second} 10 \unit {square Meter per Second} 10 \unit {point} 10 \unit {Point} 10 \unit {basepoint} 10 \unit {Basepoint} 10 \unit {C} \stoplines \setupunit[unit][option=keep] \startlines 10 \unit {square meter per second} 10 \unit {square Meter per Second} 10 \unit {point} 10 \unit {Point} 10 \unit {basepoint} 10 \unit {Basepoint} 10 \unit {C} \stoplines ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
