Dear Hans, Many thanks for implementing space=small in \setupunits. It works nicely for me. However in the latest beta, Hertz is typeset as hz not Hz. It looks like the problem is line 154 of phys-dim.lua (it was typeset correctly a couple of days ago). Also the symbol for lux (line 198)

Re: [NTG-context] Module for svn info

2008-01-23 Thread Robin Kirkham
Hi Ernesto, hi Robin, thanks for your replies. The thing I like most with your solution is that svnversion provides a modify flag, so I can see whether all changes have been cheched in. Great. A little drawback is that all files under the current path are used to determine the version. If

Hi Markus, If your sources are in svn, then they actually have the same svn- number, after a commit. But the numbers in the $Revision$ or $Id$ tags of your working copies are not updated by svn commit. However, if you do an svn update after the commit, it should update the numbers. So, you

Hi all, There are still a few problems with \numstr when you get beyond the hundreds. Perhaps this is unlikely when it is a page number, but I was interested in using this macro for contracts, where an amount of money is often written out in words. \input numstr.tex \starttext
