--- Comment #3 from Dan Bolser <[email protected]> 2010-05-27 14:12:43 UTC --- Cheers Markus! Just to clarify, the above formatting takes effect only when "plain (unformatted) printouts" are used for the property? i.e. {{#show: Some page | ? My property # - }} ? Given that plain (unformatted) printout is just a special case of the way units are selected, don't you think it's reasonable to suppress the output of units when using plain (unformatted) printouts? i.e. If I say: * {{#show: Some page | ? My property # seconds }} * {{#show: Some page | ? My property # hours }} It's clear that I want the result in seconds or hours, respectively. However, if I say: * {{#show: Some page | ? My property # - }} Isn't it clear that I don't want units? I'm being fussy about this because I want to take the values and pass them to calculations using the #expr: parser function. This won't work if their is a unit in the result. I read somewhere that bug reports are not the place for discussions, so I'll paste this text into the thread where this issue is raised so that we can open it up for broader discussion.
