<body><div>In latex2e.pdf on p. 138 it tries to define "pt" with what it claims are equivalents as follows:</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>pt Point, 1/72.27 inch. The conversion to metric units, to two decimal places, is
</div><div>1 point = 2.85mm = 28.45 cm.
</div></blockquote><div>The problem is that if a point is 1/72.27 inch, then it can't be 2.85 mm. It would in fact be 1/2.85 mm, or 0.35146 mm. It isn't anywhere near 28.45 cm, but it is 1/28.45 cm, or 0.035146 cm. This is what I found in the November 2018 version of the manual, so I looked for a newer version, and found that as of July 2021 you had at least corrected the inconsistency between the mm and the cm to this:</div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>pt Point, 1/72.27 inch. The conversion to metric units is 1 point = 2.845 mm =
</div><div>.2845 cm.</div></blockquote>but it retains the basically incorrect value for millimeters! I can't find a newer version that has correct, consistent information. You might want to address that.<br /><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><br /></div></blockquote>
