- Compromise to support display in both contextual online help, and aggregated
in manual (PDF).
- Identify the "section" by name, because the \ref is converted to a question
mark icon only, and not a number in online help context.
\label{Numerical_Response_Units}
Numerical Response problems can require units. In the problem editing form,
place the desired unit in the \textbf{Unit} field. A complete list of
units is in the Physical Units section (\ref{Physical_Units}).
The computer will accept the answer in any of its accepted unit formats.
For example, if the answer to a problem is {}``1ft'', the computer will
accept {}``12in'' as correct.
Additional units can be defined using the ``customunits'' parameter, which is a comma-separated list of unit conversions. For example
\begin{verbatim}
peck=2*gallon,bushel=8*gallon,gallon=4.4*L
\end{verbatim}
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.
