Physical units

I am currently using \text{} in math markup to prevent dashes from being displayed as minuses. Should I wrap just the dash or the whole physcial unit in the markup? Is there a guideline if physical units should be straight or cursive in formulas? On this page I made the physcial units straight Page:Text-book_of_Electrochemistry.djvu/28 whereas functions such as 'cos' should be displayed cursive? --Tobias1984 (talk) 17:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

English Wikipedia math template

Hi all, I noticed there was no math template on wikisource like there is on wikipedia. I have copied the code over and fixed the font so that the template works the same. I placed it under Template:Wikimath for now. These templates are helpful as the characters can be copied and pasted when coping a portion of the text, so it is better to use this template for inline math formulas than it is to use latex, which renders as an image. Without the template, however, italicizing and bolding variables does not fix the font, and so it displays significantly different than latex rendered formulas. The template is not a perfect substitution for latex, but it is much better—or at least less jarring. Footlessmouse (talk) 19:24, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
