Hey!
Currently writing my Bachelors Thesis in mechanical engineering and I have been struggling to find a solution for having Units and their Numbers be bound to the same line of text. The Numbers are not in math mode. In the screenshots you can see the wrong and correct styling i want to achieve. Can anyone help?
Wrong:
Right:
Using the box command doesnt work as it creates a lot of empty space in the paragraph
You can produce a non-breaking space using the tilde:
D10 = 2,5~μm, D50 = 8,3~μm
Oh boy, thank you so much.
consider using one of the packages unify, metro or fancy-units when you work with physical quantities. The line break can occur but uses basically the same fix in the last of the bunch:
#import "@preview/fancy-units:0.1.1": *
#configure(
qty-format: format-qty.with(
separator: sym.space.nobreak.narrow //this is "~"
),
)
I wonder why none of them use no-break space by default. Also, they use math font/mode, while OP doesn’t.
