Hey,

I was happy to have a new (and easier) unit-command, but now I miss the
space that was between the digits and the unit in the unit-module.

I attach the old (unit1) and new variant (unit2) with tex- and pdf-files.

Do I type it in a wrong way or is it possible to fix this?

Thanks,

Yoraxe

Put the number in the argument of the command.

\starttext
\unit{35 kilogram cubic meter}
\stoptext

@Hans: Can you add a option to replace \cdot with \thinspace, e.g. unitseparator=small|medium|...|cdot

Ok, thanks, for this minimal example it works. But what do I have to
type instead of

\unit{10^{-3} kilogram cubic meter}

(or
\unit{10^{-3} kgm²}
)

? This does not work for me.

It’s “10e-3”, you can find a list a valid input in the manual [1] for the \digits
commands which is now included in \unit.

ok, we will have (normal=>cdot):

\starttext

     \unit{35 kilogram cubic meter}

     \setupunits[unit][separator=small]

     \unit{35 kilogram cubic meter}

     \setupunits[unit][separator=none]

     \unit{35 kilogram cubic meter}

\stoptext

(plus a low level installer)

Thanks a lot. Most programms (also the old digit-module) interpret
“35e-3” as “35\cdot 10^{-3}” but the new unit-command only sets the
“^{-3}“ after the number without “10·“. That's why I was confused. =D
