Hi,

I'm using the digit-module and enjoy, that I get a nice output using the following:

\starttext \digits{30e-3} \stoptext

instead of

\starttext $30 \cdot 10^{-3}$ or $30 ⋅ 10^{-3}$ \stoptext

But now I'm wondering why this module does not work in the tabulate-environment with:

\starttabulate[|l|l] \HL \NC first \NC second \AR \HL \NC \digits{30e-3}\NC \digits{30e+3} \AR \HL \stoptabulate

In the pdf-file now appears only 30e-3.

\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|l|] \HL \NC first \NC second \NC\NR \HL \NN 30e-3 \NN 30e+3 \NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate

\stoptext

Wolfgang

Thanks. That was very easy. But where do I have to put the \NN when I use something like (30 \pm 3)e-3 ? I guess the \pm has to be in $$. If I type \NN (30$\pm$3)e-3 there's 'e-3' in the pdf-file again. The \NN somewhere between the digit only creates a big space (new column). Sorry for being so slow on the uptake. Yoraxe

The \NN column expects a valid \digits argument but your code isn’t supported. You can now resort to math mode or write your own digits code.

Sad, that this isn't supported. I think this is a very popular notation. I'm not that skilled until now to write my own code. Woud be nice, if someone, who also uses this, could give an example how to reach an easy success without typing something like $\cdot 10^{-3}$. So far so good. Yoraxe
