Using IEEEtran with siunitx's \num{...}

Question

Using the MWE

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
  \begin{abstract}
    foo \num{12.34} 12.34 bar.
  \end{abstract}
\end{document}

The First 12.34 does not care about the bold font set by the abstract environment. Why is that and what is the right way to fix it?

May be you should try \sisetup{detect-weight=true,detect-inline-weight=math}... See here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/66256/120578 — koleygr, Oct 13 '19 at 10:44
Please make it an answer to I can accept it. (I ended up using detect-all, and would have expected that to be the default, but it is not). — apriori, Oct 13 '19 at 11:28

You should use \sisetup command in your preamble in order to tell siunitx detect the font weight.

This can be done by using the command:

\sisetup{detect-weight=true,detect-inline-weight=math}

(as suggested here)

Or—as you found out yourself—the command:

\sisetup{detect-all=true}

Full MWE:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{detect-all=true}
\begin{document}
  \begin{abstract}
    foo \num{12.34} 12.34 bar.
  \end{abstract}
  shit
\end{document}

Or

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[detect-weight]{siunitx}  % <---
\begin{document}
  \begin{abstract}
    foo \num{12.34}\,bar or \SI[mode=text]{12.34}{bar} % <---
  \end{abstract}
\end{document}
