For context:
In my field it is common to mark units with square brackets, so they are not confused with constants or variables. e.:
- g gravity ↔ [g] gram
- m mass ↔ [m] metre
- l length ↔ [l] litre (though some capitalize it)
- s strecke ↔ [s] second
This is why I wanted to have square brackets around units in unify (or fancy-units maybe too). And I wanted to have that automatically and globally.
Here the code so far:
// I turned myself into a bracket! I am bracket-unit!
#import "@preview/unify:0.8.1": num, unit as unify-unit
#let qty(value, unit-value, ..args) = {
num(value, ..args)
h(0.1em)
[[#unify-unit(unit-value, ..args)]]
}
#let unit(unit-value, ..args) = {
[[#unify-unit(unit-value, ..args)]]
}
#qty("123","m") \
#qty("123e-2","m") \
#unit("m")
which gives:
I have not made changes for qtyrange yet, I will add it later, or maybe someone here would like to add it.
Please also tell me if there is a simpler way to do this and if i can summarize this into a single callable function or a global option of some sort.
A solution for fancy-units would be nice too
Usually i call a single #let UnitSetup... from another file with a #show: UnitSetup
But I am unsure how this will jive with an import of a package inside it.
As mentioned in:
Am I the only one who needs this? I have found nothing thus far
