SIunitx and power of unit (squared, cubed and tothe{X})

[weber-s]

Hello here! Thanks for pandoc!

Using the siunitx package on latex is unable to produce correct power of unit (square, cube and generic) :

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
    Test with \SI{0.5}{\m} unit : works

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\square\m} unit : doesn't work

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\m\squared} unit : doesn't work

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\cubic\m} unit doesn't work

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\m\cubed} unit doesn't work

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\m\tothe{3}} unit doesn't work

    Text with \SI{0.5}{\raisetothe{3}\m} unit doesn't work
\end{document}

Is there any plan to support them? There are 6 of them, listed above. square, cubic and raisetothe{X} are used before the unit, and squared, cubed and tothe{X} after.

Have a nice day!

Sure, we could add support for these. The desired effect is just an exponent 2, 3, or n on the unit?
