Hi everyone,
The \digits command is really great when it comes to typeset numbers in different languages. However, I miss one functionality from the numprint package in latex: when you type for example $e-5$, you get 10^{-5} (with no dot in front of it).
Would it be possible to add an option to \digits to reproduce this?
Best wishes, Morgan

Thank you, Wolfgang. I have already read the "This Way" on your link very carefully. In fact, I was looking for a solution to have \digits{e-5} printed as 10^5 \digits{2e-5} printed as 2 . 10^5 Is it possible to do that? to detect if there is a number before the 'e' in \digits?
Regards, Morgan

\starttext

Great, thank you! Maybe this should become the default for the \digits command? Or at least turned on via an option to \digits? I guess this is the wanted behavior for many users, so this should be made accessible easily... But maybe I'm wrong!
Best regards, Morgan

ok, patched:
\def\digitpowerseparator {\ifx\collecteddigits\empty\else\cdot\fi10}

Dear all, I allow me to use this message for a related topic on the digits command. I took a look at the "manual" on the digits command but did not found a way to cut a number by group of three digits like the numprint command, e.g. 1000000 becomes 1 000 000. With the digits option 3, dots become thinmuskips. I would like to do something similar but automatically for groups of three digits. For people who know the numprint package, this is default option with the french language. Best regards. Flavien.

Hi,
Does this feature exist now in ConTeXt?
TIA for any hints,
