\digits

\digits

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello, 

while browsing the source, I came across the very nice \digits
macro. 

But I have some comments: In my opinion some characters don't look right

\starttext
\digits 123.222,=      % short, OK
\digits 123.222,==     % should be em dash (?)
\digits +123.222,22    % OK
\digits -123.222,33    % too small
\stoptext

The + and - should be the same size. 

Any comments?

Looks fine.

Is there a way to increase the length of the dash in 

123,--

Now it looks like a simple "-", I'd like to be able to choose between
"-", "--" and perhaps "---".

you can tweak:

\def\zeroamount{-}
\def\positive  {+}
\def\negative  {-}

ok, so we need

\startmode[mkiv]

     \def\dohandledigits
       {\mathcode`\,="003B \mathcode`\.="003A % pretty hard coded
        \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
        \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}

\stopmode

\startnotmode[mkiv]

     \def\dohandledigits
       {\mathcode`\,="013B \mathcode`\.="013A % pretty hard coded
        \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
        \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}

\stopnotmode

it is on my agenda to rewrite digits in lua (we use it at pragma so i 
have a motive)

This took much more longer than it should. In supp-num.tex, there is
this definition:

\def\dohandledigits
   {\mathcode`\,="013B \mathcode`\.="013A % pretty hard coded
    \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
    \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}


which is causing the trouble. I assume this is just to move them out of
the way, so replacing the two ones with zeroes probably works (?).

Best wishes,
Taco
