Hi all, being quite happy with things like \unit{10 km/h}, once I did \unit{45 min}, only to get "45 m" in the resulting file. I suspect that \unit does not know about minutes; is there any way to teach it;)? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

I think 'min' is parsed as 'meter nil nil', because (1) min is not found in the list of short or long unit names, so it's assumed to be composite; and (2) once processed composite, m-->meter-->m, while i-->nil and n-->nil. Solution: add 'min' to the list of short unit names (below).

ok, added ... but wondering about the plurals now .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans, since you are working on the \unit code at the moment, I want to remind you about an issue I reported a while ago. Any thoughts on that one? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/79275 Marco

Hi,
Le vendredi 23 novembre 2012, Marcin Borkowski a écrit :
phys-dim.mkiv):
\starttext
\registerunit
[unit]
[minute=minute]
\setupunittext
[minute=min]
\unit{45 minute}
\stoptext
However, I'm unable to explain what exactly \registerunit or \setupunittext
does.
