I am getting some odd effects...
\CheckList % a checkbox list
\item \lunit{3 kilogram} block of iron
\item \lunit{10 000 kilogram} steel hull car ferry
\item \lunit{\digits{0.02} kilogram} piece of iron
\item \lunit{10 000 kilogram} wooden hull car ferry
\item \lunit{500 kilogram} block of wood
\item \lunit{5 gram} brass screw
\item \lunit{10 kilogram} piece of wood
\item \lunit{5 gram} plastic clothes peg
\item \lunit{\digits{0.5} kilogram} football
\item \lunit{3 kilogram} block of ice
\EndList
Here the leading '0.' are dropped, even with the wrapping \{digit}
If I put them the same list inside a /startlines /stoplines pair and the digits, then still the leading '0.' are dropped:
\startlines
\lunit{3 kilogram} block of iron
\lunit{10 000 kilogram} steel hull car ferry
\lunit{\digits{0.02} kilogram} piece of iron
\lunit{10 000 kilogram} wooden hull car ferry
\lunit{500 kilogram} block of wood
\lunit{5 gram} brass screw
\lunit{10 kilogram} piece of wood
\lunit{5 gram} plastic clothes peg
\lunit{\digits{0.5} kilogram} football
\lunit{3 kilogram} block of ice
\stoplines
But if I drop the digits{} wrapper, then I get weird interline spacing
\startlines
\lunit{3 kilogram} block of iron
\lunit{10 000 kilogram} steel hull car ferry
\lunit{0.02 kilogram} piece of iron
\lunit{10 000 kilogram} wooden hull car ferry

\lunit{10 kilogram} piece of wood
\lunit{5 gram} plastic clothes peg
\lunit{0.5 kilogram} football

\stoplines

Anyone else with particular wisdom?

Your wish &c
\starttext
\unit{10 kilo gram}
\unit{1 kilogram}
\unit{0.1 kilogram}
\stoptext
Output:
10 kg
1 kg
1 kg
I think the leading zeros before the decimal point are always clipped…
