[Therion] "Passage height" question

[Martin Sluka]

 From therionbook:

value ◃ value of height, passage-height or altitude label or point  
dimensions
height: according to the sign of the value (positive, negative or  
unsigned), this type of
symbol represents chimney height, pit depth or step height in  
general. The numeric
value can be optionally followed by ‘?’, if the value is presumed  
and units can be added
(e.g. -value [40? ft]).
passage-height: the following four forms of value are supported:  
+<number> (the height
of the ceiling), -<number> (the depth of the floor or water depth),  
<number> (the distance
between floor and ceiling) and [+<number> -<number>] (the distance to  
ceiling
and distance to floor).

units ◃ length units supported: meter[s], centimeter[s], inch[es],  
feet[s], yard[s] (also m,
cm, in, ft, yd). Angle units supported: degree[s], minute[s] (also  
deg, min), grad[s],
mil[s], percent[age] (clino only). A degree value may be entered in  
decimal notation
(x.y) or in a special notation for degrees, minutes and seconds (deg 
[:min[:sec]]).

So what to write there: passage-height -value [6 in]
