1.1 bowersj2 2:
3: Numerical Response problems can require units. In the problem editing form,
4: place the desired unit in the \textbf{Unit} field. For information about
1.3 www 5: what units the system accepts, see \ref{Physical_Units}.
1.1 bowersj2 6: The computer will accept the answer in any of its accepted unit formats.
7: For example, if the answer to a problem is {}``1ft'', the computer will
8: accept {}``12in'' as correct.
1.4 ! dseaton 9:
! 10: Additional units can be defined using the ``customunits'' parameter, which is a comma-separated list of unit conversions. For example
! 11: \begin{verbatim}
! 12: peck=2*gallon,bushel=8*gallon,gallon=4.4*L
! 13: \end{verbatim}
! 14: would define the new units peck, bushel, and gallon. The last entry in a conversion chain always needs to be a unit that LON-CAPA already supports.
