[Semediawiki-user] The values of properties with units need a 'no formatting' option. Was: "Re: Turn off Tooltip for Inline Queries"

[Dan B. <dan...@gm...>]

Yeah, I'd like to do the same thing.

I think the 'natural' way to do this would be to specify "Plain
(unformatted) printouts" for the property in question

http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_information#Plain_.28unformatted.29_printouts


However, SMW insists on putting, for example, commas in large numbers
[1] and outputting a unit (there seems to be no way to remove the unit
altogether), and putting a " " between the printed value and the
unit. All nice ideas in principle, but the whole point of SMW is to
provide *data* not *formatting*. Currently you can't get at the
underlying data, to include it in a calculation, for example, so this
is a bug (which I just logged [2]).
