Hello,

while browsing the source, I came across the very nice \digits macro.

But I have some comments: In my opinion some characters don't look right

\starttext \digits 123.222,= % short, OK \digits 123.222,== % should be em dash (?) \digits +123.222,22 % OK \digits -123.222,33 % too small \stoptext

The + and - should be the same size.

Any comments?
