I'm working currently with the siunitx-package and I would like to use scientific-notation mode, while rounding the numbers. It all works well until I use the \pm command to seperate the uncertainty from the value.
What I mean is using that code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{%
scientific-notation = true,
load-configurations = abbreviations,
separate-uncertainty,
}
\newcommand{\roundon[1]}{\sisetup{round-mode = places, round-precision = #1}}
\newcommand{\roundoff}{\sisetup{round-mode = off}}
\begin{document}
\roundon[2]
\SI{1,324 e-5}{\metre}
\end{document}
everything works well. But if I try the following
\SI{1,324 \pm 0,053}{\metre}
it won't work. It's compiling but the numbers aren't rounded anymore.
1.24(6) = 1.24 \pm 0.06
. However,siunitx
leaves this well alone: needs a human judgement on the meaning of the numbers.
