%C details.

%D Scientific units can be typeset in math mode pretty well,
%D but occasionally one has to take care of spacing.
%D Furthermore, entering these units is not that natural as
%D wanted. Therefore this module presents a more natural way of
%D doing things, like:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D 1.23 \Cubic \Meter \Per \Second
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D This example shows that we use the order in which we say
%D things, instead of typeset things. There is a separate
%D manual for this module.

%D Message number~1 deals with overruling the \type {\Degrees}
%D macro defined in the core modules. Let's say that this is
%D an upward compatibility issue.

%D This runtime loadable module implements a way of defining
%D units. The core macro is \type {\dimension}, a rather clever
%D one that is able to cooperate with some other dimension
%D related macros. As said, this module enables user to enter:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D some 10 \Square \Meter \Per \Second or more
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \getbuffer
%D
%D as:
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D The units itself are implemented as synonyms.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \definesynonyms [unit] [units] [\unitmeaning]
%D \setupsynonyms [unit] [textstyle=\dimension]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D This definition means that we can ask for the meaning of a
%D unit using \type {\unitmeaning} and get a list of used
%D units by saying \type {\placelistofunits}
%D
%D We have to use the command \type {\unitmeaning} instead
%D of \type {\meaning}, simply because the latter is a \TEX\
%D primitive we don't want to loose. We use the label text
%D mechanism for translations.

%D \macros
%D   {dimension}
%D
%D The core of this module is the low level macro \type
%D {\dimension}. Before presenting this macro, it's best to
%D look at some applications, because it's supposed to show
%D some intelligence that can beter be understood from the
%D context.
%D
%D The next useless examples show some of the cases we want
%D to handle in a proper way.
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D ... 10 \Square \Meter \Per \Volt \
%D ... 10 \Square \Meter \Volt \
%D ... 10 \Meter \Volt \
%D ... 10 \Milli \Square \Meter \Per \Volt \
%D ... 10 \Square \Milli \Meter \Per \Volt \
%D ... 10 \Meter \Times \Meter \
%D ... 10 \Square \Meter \Times \Meter \
%D ... 10 \Square \Milli \Meter \Times \Meter \
%D \stopbuffer

%D \macros
%D   {mathematicstypeface, dimensiontypeface,
%D    dimensionhalfspace, dimensionbackspace}
%D
%D There are some low level constants, that can be changed
%D when needed. Some day I will write a decent setup command.

%D \macros
%D   {smashdimensionpower}
%D
%D Sometimes the baseline distance is not enough to provide
%D for superscripts, so we smash their height by default.

%D The dimension mechanism uses a lot of signals to keep
%D track if the current state.

%D \macros
%D   {spaceddimensions,textdimensions}
%D
%D The actual definition of \type {\dimension} overruled the
%D one in the core modules. The boolean can be used to
%D force spacing between units. Vergelijk {\Newton \Meter}
%D eens met {\spaceddimensionstrue \Newton \Meter}. The
%D rather ugly test prevents problems with nested dimensions.

\newif\ifspaceddimensions \spaceddimensionsfalse % user switch
\newif\iftextdimensions   \textdimensionsfalse   % user switch

%D You can see the consequence of forcing text dimensions
%D when you compare the following code:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D {\rm test \Square \Meter \Per \Second\ ziezo\Degrees} \par
%D {\ss test \Square \Meter \Per \Second\ ziezo} \par
%D {\tt test \Square \Meter \Per \Second\ ziezo}
