shortdesc A comprehensive (SI) units package

longdesc Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the
longdesc combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit
longdesc combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays
longdesc down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be
longdesc used. However, different countries and publishers have
longdesc differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and
longdesc units). A number of LaTeX packages have been developed to
longdesc provide consistent application of the various rules: SIunits,
longdesc sistyle, unitsdef and units are the leading examples. The
longdesc numprint package provides a large number of number-related
longdesc functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for
longdesc typesetting tabular numbers. The siunitx package takes the best
longdesc from the existing packages, and adds new features and a
longdesc consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been
longdesc incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The
longdesc package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits,
longdesc sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to
longdesc handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users.
longdesc The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the l3kernel and
longdesc l3packages bundles.
