Geoffrey, Cool! Somehow I missed that. If the list of scale factors are expanded as Jonathan requests, it would probably be best to make the two lists distinct as I believe very few people know y, z, Y, or Z. Even E and P are dubious. The idea being that the language would accept all as input but only output the most common ones. -Ken Geoffrey.Coram wrote: > Ken - > Your suggestion was already incorporated in LRM 2.2, %r or %R > for printing using "engineering notation, using the scale > factors defined in Section 2.5.3." > > -Geoffrey > > > Ken Kundert wrote: >> Jonathan, >> The complete set can be found here: >> http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html >> >> Personally, I'd like to see us add a function or a special %code that >> converts numbers into strings with scale factors and perhaps units.
