units without no text
----
* Scientific units can be typeset in math mode pretty well, but occasionally one has to take care of spacing.
Furthermore, entering these units is not that natural as wanted. Therefore this module presents a more natural way of doing things, like:
* This runtime loadable module implements a way of defining units. The core macro is <cmd>dimension</cmd>, a rather clever one that is able to cooperate with some other dimension related macros. As said, this module enables user to enter:
<texcode>
(Note that the space after <cmd>Second</cmd> needs to be explicitly specified; otherwise, it will get eaten.)
* Units act upon signals that they insert in the text, in case no quantity is given you need to start the unit sequence using <cmd>Unit</cmd>
<texcode>
Units of measurement is \Unit \Milli \Meter
</texcode>
<context>
\usemodule[units]
Units of measurement is \Unit \Milli \Meter
</context>
The units itself are implemented as synonyms.
