Renders "My tool is 12.4 inch long." and "My tool is 29.88 cm long.",
depeding on my settings. (With natural IQ, like write 23.5 km instead of
2350000 cm, etc.)
Syntax was just an example, not even a suggestion.
Two points (which have already been raised):
1. articles should be easy to write. Minimize complex markup.
2. How can a machine tell what level of accuracy is needed?
Eg:
"A cat is an animal about a foot long"
"A cat is an animal about 30cm long."
You don't want the decimals!
