Hello, I'm forwarding your email to the docbook mailing list where user discussions of DocBook elements take place, as this one is intended for comments on OASIS standards documents. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [docbook-comment] Values and units Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2018 21:37:56 +0000 (UTC) From: Alemps Florimond <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Hello, I've received a good advice to model table of caracteristics with http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.0/segmentedlist.html In the body of a text, what is a good way to model a value with the associated unit ? Example : I am <data><value>1,8</value> <unit>m</unit></data> high Need is to avoid <data>1,8meter</data> or <unit>meter</unit>, <unit>M.</unit> to enable consistency (readability) or even conversion between units Thank you for your feedback, Florimond
