Longitude, latitude (seconds and minutes marks)

Post by velisarus »

Greetings!

I have a problem with second and minute marks in longitude, latitude (3° 5′ 30″). There aren't any problems with "degree" (I use \textdegree from textcomp package), but I don't know, how to put ′ and ″ witn LaTex.

May anyone help me?

Use the excellent siunitx package. See the manual for details.

Thanks for help, localghost!

siunitx is nice, but it's too much for me... And siunitx use different font. And \arcminute does't work. I found a more simple solution.

Minutes:

Code: Select all

06$'$
Seconds:

Code: Select all

06$''$

Can you show that by means of a minimal working example (MWE)?
