Dimensioned quantities in markdown, selected units

ECMAScript (JavaScript)
A more general match for numbers with units/dimensions in plaintext. This is unoptimized, a bit rough, and leaves out plenty of units while including some oddities. Use it as the first step to something better if you're linting md files. This was good enough for my use case, which doesn't care much ...

SGML Element (.Net)

PCRE2 (PHP >=7.3)
Parses an SGML . It doesn't account for name groups. See https://sgmljs.net/docs/sgmlrefman.html. Note that the "Flavor" should be .NET as things get a little weird with the # matching.

Description

Matches quantities dimensioned by SI units in typical markdown-formatted plaintext documents. Replaces any spaces or HTML entities between the number and its dimensions with a "narrow non-breaking space" character. This character may fallback to a "thin space" due to its font support. The lexicographical convention for SI units is to use a full space, not a narrow space, but that was not the concern for this use case. This was submitted under PCRE by accident—it is for ECMAScript.
