What is the command for mile in SI units? using the package suinitx?

[torbjorn t.]

There is none, at least not that is mentioned in the manual. You can define your own unit though, e.g.

Code: Select all

\DeclareSIUnit{\mile}{m}

Code: Select all

\DeclareSIUnit{\mile}{m}

This definition of a unit abbreviation could be mixed up with "metre" (or "meter").

Actually the mile (neither nautical nor statute nor sea mile) has no unit sign.

Of course, you're right. I just wrote that example, as "m" is the abbreviation I've seen most often for miles (e.g., in mph), and didn't think more of it. Using "mi", as recommended by NIST, is better in that regard.

Code: Select all

\DeclareSIUnit{\mile}{mi}
