separate-uncertainty with a list and units: cannot remove brackets
japhir opened this issue · 5 comments
I've found this potentially related issue #441 and have read and re-read the manual, but I cannot figure out the following:
How can I print a qtylist without brackets and with a single unit? (i.e., in the mathematically wrong way.)
I want to get:
qty: 50 ± 3 m (works as expected)
qtyrange: 50 ± 3 m to 300 ± 5 m
qtylist: 50 ± 3 m, 300 ± 5 m, and 250 ± 10 m
or even the same without repeating the unit
qty: 50 ± 3 m (works as expected)
qtyrange: 50 ± 3 to 300 ± 5 m
qtylist: 50 ± 3, 300 ± 5, and 250 ± 10 m
(reviewers are asking about this)
I've tried the below, which currently results in:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{
uncertainty-mode=separate,
separate-uncertainty-units=single,
multi-part-units=single,
bracket-unit-denominator=false,
bracket-negative-numbers=false,
bracket-ambiguous-numbers=false,
range-units=single,
% list-units=single,
% maybe I do want to repeat the unit for a list?
list-units=repeat,
}
\begin{document}
\qty{50\pm3}{\metre}.
\qtyrange{50\pm3}{300\pm5}{\metre}.
\qtylist{50\pm3;300\pm5;250\pm10}{\metre}.
\end{document}50 ± 3 m. (50 ± 3) to (300 ± 5) m. (50 ± 3) m, (300 ± 5) m and (250 ± 10) m.
To get you sorted right now, try
\sisetup{range-open-bracket = , range-close-bracket = ,
list-open-bracket = , list-close-bracket = }I'll look at a fix shortly
Hmm it turns out I may not be running the latest version:

I'm on arch linux, running version 2023.66594-20 of the texlive-mathscience meta-package. The file siunitx itself says

You could try
\ExplSyntaxOn

\ExplSyntaxOffas an in-place fix
Thanks, this seems like it might fix the range but not the list. EDIT: NEVER MIND, I had to put list-units=single, here too!
Where should I put it? I've tried:
\usepackage{siunitx}
% HERE <- this works
\sisetup{range-open-bracket = , range-close-bracket = ,
list-open-bracket = , list-close-bracket = ,
uncertainty-mode=separate,
separate-uncertainty-units=single,
multi-part-units=single,
bracket-ambiguous-numbers=false,
range-units=single,
list-units=single,
forbit-literal-units=true,
per-mode=symbol,
}but it always results in warnings such as ! LaTeX Error: The key 'siunitx/list-close-bracket' is unknown and is being ignored. and for my example file:
qty 50 ± 3 m
qtyrange 50 ± 3 to 300 ± 5 m
qtylist 50 ± 3, 300 ± 5 and 250 ± 10 m

Definitely working when used with the latest siunitx release: all I can suggest is installing the latest code.
