Found it: \registerunit [prefix] [µ=micro] \starttext \unit{10 micro meter} \crlf \unit{10 µm} \stoptext Should this be the default (µ assigned to micro)?

Never crossed my mind that ft not meaning feet in this instance and also never contemplated the existence of a “femto tonne”. > You can list the individual parts in the log file with the > "physics.units" tracker. That gives some insight, indeed. Thanks. What about: \unit{10 um} \unit{10 µm} Can I assign µ to mean micro (prefix)?

I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance): The unit "farad" exists. \starttext %% prints 10 10 ft \unit{10 F} \unit{20 ft} \registerunit [F=Farad] \setupunittext [Farad=F] %% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t \unit{10 F} \unit{20 ft} \stoptext When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing up other units? The unit for feet is "foot" and "ft" is a combination of a prefix (femto) and a unit (tonne). You can list the individual parts in the log file with the "physics.units" tracker. To get a short unit you have to use the following method (it works because farad exists): \registerunitshortcut [F=farad] Wolfgang ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
