I want to list the versions of some python modules I am using. The problem is that the format of the version has two dots, for example 10.10.10 or 1.04.5. When I try \num{10.10.10} I get the error: duplicate-decimal-token.

Is there a way to use the \num command from siunitx to typeset these numbers? Any alternative?

  • Well, numbers are supposed to have only one dot (two parts)

    What exactly do you expect \num to do with a version number?

    But does \num{10.10} look any different from 10.10?

    If Alan Munn solves your problem, why don't use just 10.10.10? It is totally not different at all!

    @kbr85 siunitx's \num command is supposed to change 1000 to 1 000, 1000.0001 to 1 000.000 1 (add spaces). You literally killed this feature in this case. siunitx is totally useless here. Don't overuse it.

You can set the parse-numbers key to false for these numbers.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\num[parse-numbers=false]{10.10.10.10}
\end{document}

  • That did it. I also voted up the answer but not enough privileges so far to change the displayed count. Thanks!!
