Number recognition in table is too eager
In general, Zero
is a bit too eager recognizing the content of a cell as a number. While non-text content is (as intended) never interpreted as a number, plain text usually is.
For example [Text]
becomes $T\times 10^\mathrm{xt}$ because Zero
does not actually check if the individual characters are really digits.
However, this is also not quite unintended because numbers can actually contain letters - a common case are hexadecimal numbers.
Also, it might be useful for some applications to allow a symbolic exponent, e.g., num[1.23ex]
which is rendered as $1.23\times 10^x$.
