formula legend

[Jörg Hagmann]

Hi all,

I am using formulas and legends as described in the manual and  
encountered the 2 following (minor) problems (see example at the end  
of the message):

1. Legends: when using the units module (e.g. \Joule), the alignement  
is not the same as when using normal characters (in the example: the  
number 8314 is more to the left than the J of \Joule etc.. Replacing  
\Joule by J aligns it with the number below. This also occurs when  
running the example live on context-garden. Adding \null in front of   
8314 doesn't help (why not?).

2. The RT of the equation is not slanted as are the other variables  
-- on my two setups (on contextgarden it is). Is this a version  
problem? (If it is, I don't want to upgrade because I'm sure I'll  
mess things up -- as I said, it's no big deal).

Example:

\enableregime [il1]
\mainlanguage [de]

\usemodule[greek]
\usemodule[units]

\starttext
\placeformula[formula:en_2]
\startformula
\Delta G = \Delta G\Degrees ' + RT\ln\frac{[C] \Times [D]}{[A] \Times  
[B]}
\stopformula

\startlegend
\leg G\Degrees ' \\ Standard Gibbs' freie Energie \\ \Joule \Per \Mol \\
\leg R \\ Gaskonstante \\ 8314 \Joule \Times \ILinear\Kelvin \Times  
\ILinear\Mol \\
\leg [A], [B], [C], [D] \\ Konzentrationen von A etc. \\ \Mol \\
\stoplegend
\stoptext

Thanks and cheers, Jörg

Start with \Unit \Joule.
 From the Wiki page (by Aditya):

    Units act upon signals that they insert in the text, in case no
    quantity is given you need to start the unit sequence using \Unit

They are slanted in my setup (beta 2006.06.23) and they were also
slanted in 2006.06.07.

Cheers, Taco

This was copy pasted from an email from Hans on the ML :)

They are also slanted here.

Hans, there is a typo in m-units.

DC is an acronym for Direct Current, so

\setuplabeltext
   [\s!en]
   [u:vac=alternating current,
    u:vdc=different current]

should be

   u:vdc=direct current
