Hi, the following code \starttext 1\unit{bit / second} \stoptext gives 1 econd tested with: mtx-context | current version: 2011.11.14 16:17 Vedran

I take the opportunity of this mail to mention again another \unit problem. I copy/paste here a part of a mail I sent two weeks ago but which didn't get any answer...

...

It seems that some unit combinations don't work very well with the \unit macro. I have some problems with the m- (milli-) prefix but some tests reveal other strange errors.

...

Here is a minimal example. The entries 02, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12 and 15 cause problem :

...

\starttext \startbuffer 00: \unit{10 mm} 01: \unit{10 km} 02: \unit{10,2 mA} 03: \unit{123 kA} 04: \unit{0,001 MA} 05: \unit{1 dal} 06: \unit{2.21 GW} 07: \unit{345 mW} 08: \unit{152.20 mHz} 09: \unit{55.5 mmol} 10: \unit{6.7 mol/l} 11: \unit{125 g/l} 12: \unit{125 g / l} 13: \unit{125 km/s} 14: \unit{125 m/s} 15: \unit{125 mA/s} 16: 1\unit{bit / second} \stopbuffer \typebuffer Result: \startlines \getbuffer \stoplines \stoptext

All the best. -- Romain Diss

It does. I posted the wrong code, sorry. Therefore: \starttext 1\unit{second} \stoptext gives 1 econd. Vedran

\starttext 1\unit{second} \stoptext

gives 1 econd.

But \unit{1 second} gives the correct result... -- Romain Diss

Indeed, but IIRC Hans' original approach was 1\unit{second} style of writing[1]. I would like to know if this can be fixed. Vedran [1] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/059762.html

I'll look into it (first I have some deadlines to catch).

Just updated to latest minimals and rechecked, it's fixed. Thanks. Vedran
