I was going to define some math macros like \TeV or \cm to be able to write thing like 3\cm or x\cm in math mode and have them formatted in a nice and consistent way. This is not really needed as you only have to write 5 cm and insert a half space between the unit and the value. The Math manual and also the UserGuide explains this. regards Uwe

I'm guessing here, but it seems to me that if the units is an abbreviation (e.g., 2 kW) the thin space looks correct, but if the units is normal text (e.g., 4 samples) then a normal size nonbreaking space is correct.
units of measure in lyx
Hi, does lyx have some kind of support for units of measure? I was going to define some math macros like \TeV or \cm to be able to write thing like 3\cm or x\cm in math mode and have them formatted in a nice and consistent way. Do I need to go and do all the work by myself or is there a lyx mode or a (lyx supported) latex package that does this? Btw, lyx 1.6 is awesome (might have been called lyx 2.0 given the sheer number of new features :) thanks! Cheers, Emme
