In starting out we often want to write out the units in full - that is the words, not the abbreviations. any chance of implementing these? At the moment I have (crudely, I suspect) a large number of definitions of the kind \define\metre{\;{\tf m}} \define\metrew{\;{\tf metre}} \define\kilometre{\;{\tf km}} \define\kilometrew{\;{\tf kilometre}} \define\millimetre{\;{\tf mm}} \define\millimetrew{\;{\tf millimetre}} \define\centimetre{\;{\tf cm}} \define\centimetrew{\;{\tf centimetre}} Which is *my way* of getting what I wanted - prior to this upgrade...
