== Advanced unit flags == You can alias Convert or Val units. But these are different things. * A "unit code alias" is when the same ''unit pagename and unit symbol'' are defined twice. If a different ''unit code'' is assigned to the same unit symbol and unit pagename, (say, as a copy of the previous entry) it will work as a Val alias. * A "unit alias" is when Val alias a Convert unit code. A unit of measurement is ''here'' denoted ALIAS to mean "they are defined ''there''". Val ''defaults'' to Convert, but it's good to this explicit for certain Val units: the ones tempting to define here, but that you don't want defined here because, says ALIAS, they are ''already'' defined there. * If your unit code is not listed at {{tl|Val/list}}, you can check for it at {{tl|Convert#Units}} For spacing and aliasing: *<code>ALIAS</code> specifies that the unit's symbol is the code for a unit defined in {{tlf|convert}}}. *<code>NOSPACE</code> prevents the default insertion of a non-breaking space before the unit symbol. *If you see the <code>ANGLE</code> flag, this identifies those special units that must displayed not only after the main Val number, but also after its [[uncertainty#Measurements]] numbers.(<code>ANGLE</code> also implies <code>NOSPACE</code>.)
