Hello,

which is the most correct way to display units (here: kN) in math formula?

----
\starttext
   \startformula
     a = 210 kN % "kN" is shown like a variable (here: like 'a'), which is unwanted
   \stopformula

   \startformula
     a = 210 \unit{kN} % No unit is displayed (?!)
   \stopformula

   \startformula
     a = 210 \text{~kN} % '~' required?, ugly way
   \stopformula
\stoptext
----

TIA.

Best regards,

Lukas

The units code doesn’t know how to deal with “N” but you can use the full name of the unit (can also be lowercase) or “n” which is also accepted.

\starttext

\startformula
  a = \unit{210 kilo Newton}
\stopformula

\startformula
  a = 210 \unit{kilo Newton}
\stopformula

\startformula
  a = 210 \unit{k Newton}
\stopformula

\startformula
  a = 210 \unit{kn}
\stopformula

\stoptext

Thanks, this works (I had to renew ConTeXt).

Best regards,

:)

The units code should certainly know how to deal with "N"...

- But "g" is shown like a variable (here: like 'a') - unwanted...

I must substitute "N" -> "Newton"...
