If it’s on a fixed order of magnitude like that, can you just multiply by the precision and say it’s in a different unit? Like just multiply by 10^6th and display it as 20 microns or whatever the unit is?

Otherwise, search for HTML formatting styles. There are some other examples on the forum here. The popups can take HTML formatting so that will probably get you whatever you need. For example this discussion:

> How can create a new line with string variables? For example, in other languages like python, “first line\n second line” produces this: first line second line How can I do this with urscript? I’m wanting to use a multi-line string with a yes/no pop. For example: change\_params = request\_boolean\_from\_primary\_client(“Width: 20 inches\n Height: 10 inches\ Would you like to continue with these settings?”) Width: 20 inches Height: 10 inches Would you like to continue with these settings?
