SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on how to exclude italics when writing SI symbols in LaTeX for PF posts. Users can achieve upright text by enclosing the desired symbols in the command \mathrm{}. For example, using ##\sin px\ \mathrm{kg}## will render "kg" in upright text instead of italics. This method is essential for accurately representing SI units in scientific writing.
