Add a space between value and unit

[snoozy2323]

Is it possible that to insert a space between value and unit when creating the Word formulas?

That should be the correct spelling.

Also, I realized that the spaces in the "inline equation format" are smaller than usually. I'm need to replace them, when copying from the sheet.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, yes you are right. It is better with spaces. This is also a chance to fix another issue with formatting units as italic like variables.

How about this formatting:

If you think it is OK, I will update the software accordingly. If any corrections, please comment.

Hmm. They aren't in the Html as well. I am afraid that being so small may not print well on some printers, so I actually do not want to make it too colorful. Also, I am thinking about making units a bit darker. What do you think?

I don't know the italic units are a issue! The results format today it's ok for me, even with the italic units. Inserting a space between value and units will make it better off course.

I comment about the color because it's the first time i see them in a word report (Until today i think the variables are black only).

Hi! Thank you! I see your point. My idea was to make them look like the same as the Html.
About the italic, this was reported some time ago here #180. So I decided to try it now and I liked it. It was very easy to change. Since it is also in official publishing guidelines, maybe it will be better to change it.

Also, I noticed that it is the same in SMath. But if the community disagree, I will change it back.

Very interesting, i don't know about the existence of this ISO, living and learning... This ISO say that italic in subscript is only used when it's express quantity, like vectors, wow, i need to study some new stuff

Hi Ned,
thanks for chaning that so quick! For me, it looks good now. And yes, the units shall never be italic. I like how it looks in the html with italic units, but I aprechiate to get it removed from the word formulas.

Yes, very interesting, indeed. To be hones, I also didn't know about that before. But It makes sense. After you print your document on paper and loose the colors, you will be able to make difference between variables and units with the same names:

m = 3 g will equals to 3 grams (unit) and
m = 3 g will be 3*9.81 m/s^2, where g is gravity accel. (variable).

L = 4 m will be 4 times the variable m from above.
L = 4 m will equals to 4 meters (units) and so on...

In simple formulas it is quite clear in any case, but in long and complex ones...

It is fixed in the next version:

Please, try it first and I will post an official release soon.
