I made tables of unit conversions to explain ConTeXt’s units.
Conversion works like this:
\define[2]\Conv{\scratchdimen #1 \the\nodimen #2 \scratchdimen}
\Conv{1dk}{mm}
That gives me "2.263348mm", while I’d like "2,263348 mm".
I tried to use \unit within the definition above or like
\unit{\Conv{1dk}{mm}}, but the result is empty – probably an expansion
problem?
Complete not-working example:
"""
\mainlanguage[de]
\setupunit[method=3,space=small,]
\define[2]\Conv{\unit{\dimexpr\scratchdimen #1 \the\nodimen #2
\scratchdimen\relax}}
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTH Einheit \eTH\bTH mm \eTH\bTH pt \eTH\eTR
\bTR\bTD 1 dk \eTD\bTD \Conv{1dk}{mm} \eTD\bTD \Conv{1dk}{pt} \eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD 1 es \eTD\bTD \Conv{1es}{mm} \eTD\bTD \Conv{1es}{pt} \eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD 1 ts \eTD\bTD \Conv{1ts}{mm} \eTD\bTD \Conv{1ts}{pt} \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
"""
(Yes, I should have used a loop…)
