Subject: [NTG-context] Using Farad with \unit messes up feet, µ not recognised as prefix
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 12:31:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231003123141.4598d080@homerow> (raw)
Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad]
\setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks
like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and
units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing
up other units?
2nd issue: The prefix “µ” is not recognised:
\starttext
%% prints 10 nm 20 30 µm
\unit{10 nm}
\unit{20 µm}
\unit{30 um}
\stoptext
I would expect “20 µm” to produce the correct result. Can we make
“µm” also produce the same result as “um”?
