UnitfulLatexify

Code Style: Blue

Adds Latexify recipes for Unitful units and quantities.

Installation

] add UnitfulLatexify

Usage

julia> using Unitful, Latexify, UnitfulLatexify;
julia> q = 612.2u"nm";
julia> u = u"kg*m/s^2";
julia> latexify(q)
L"$612.2\;\mathrm{nm}$"

$$ 612.2 \mathrm{nm} $$

julia> latexify(u; unitformat=:mathrm) # explicit default
L"$\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm{m}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2}$"

$$ \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-2} $$

julia> latexify(q; unitformat=:siunitx)
L"\qty{612.2}{\nano\meter}"

julia> latexify(u,unitformat=:siunitx)
L"\unit{\kilo\gram\meter\per\second\tothe{2}}"

One use case is in Pluto notebooks, where my current favourite workflow is to write

Markdown.parse("""
The period is $(@latexrun T = $(2.5u"ms")), so the frequency is $(@latexdefine f = 1/T post=u"kHz").
""")

, which renders as

The period is $T = 2.5 \mathrm{ms}$, so the frequency is $f = \frac{1}{T} = 0.4 \mathrm{kHz}$.

Note that the quantity has to be interpolated (put inside a dollar-parenthesis), or Latexify will interpret it as a multiplication between a number and a call to @u_str.
