+The \hepunits~v2 package extends the existing (and excellent) \texpkg{siunitx}
+package to support units commonly used in high-energy physics. HEP uses a
+rather specialised set of units to describe measurements of energies, masses,
+momenta, reaction cross-sections, luminosities and so-on. Using this package
+provides particle physicists with a consistent and accurate way to refer to
+dimensionful HEP quantities. It additionally tweaks the often problematic
+character spacing around the \si\eV and \si\eVcsq units, as an ``eV kern''

+in the preamble of your document.
+
+This loads the \texpkg{amsmath} (for \texcmd{mspace}/\texcmd{mkern}) and
+\texpkg{siunitx} packages, as well as defining new HEP units using the
+\texpkg{siunitx} mechanisms. For convenience, it also sets the \texpkg{siunitx}
+defaults to detect the surrounding text style (include displayed mathematics)
+and to use text-mode rendering of units, again to match the surrounding text
+font for numbers and unit text. If these features aren't wanted, or you want to
+set any of the myriad other \texpkg{siunitx} rendering options, call the
+\texcmd{sisetup} macro \emph{after} the |\usepackage{hepunits}| call.
+
+
+\section{Options}
+\hepunits accepts three optional arguments during import:
%
-\begin{snippet}
-\usepackage{hepunits}
-\end{snippet}
+\begin{description}
+\item[sicmds:] Also define convenience short versions of SI units, e.g.~\texcmd{cm};
+\item[noprefixcmds:] Don't define convenience SI-prefixed versions of HEP units, e.g.~\texcmd{GeV} in addition to \texcmd{eV};
+\item[freestanding:] Make the unit macros also usable outside the \texcmd{SI} and \texcmd{si} macros (equivalent to |\sisetup{free-standing-units=true}|.
+\end{description}
%
-in the preamble of your document. \hepunits also supports the \texpkg{SIunits}
-optional arguments (\texopt{thickspace}, \texopt{amssymb} and so-on), which are
-passed on directly to the \texpkg{SIunits} package. By default the
-\texopt{mediumspace}, \texopt{thickqspace}, \texopt{squaren} and
-\texopt{textstyle} options are passed, but these can be overridden.
-\texopt{amssymb} and \texopt{squaren} are considered to be mutually exclusive
-options, but you can choose to pass neither option to \texpkg{SIunits} by using
-the \hepunits \texopt{noamssquareissue} option. Additionally, the \hepunits
-\texopt{notextstyle} option can be used to turn the \texpkg{SIunits}
-\texopt{textstyle} off. On the whole, though, you should be able to use
-\hepunits with no options in most circumstances and are likely only to need them
-if you want access to the binary or derived units (using \texopt{binary} and
-\texopt{derived}/\texopt{derivedinbase} respectively).
-
-Finally, the only \hepunits-specific option is \texopt{noprefixcmds}. This is
-discussed at the end of the document and is probably only useful for macro
-language pedants!\footnote{No offence intended to macro language pedants, of course\dots}
+These can be used as follows: |\usepackage[sicmds,freestanding]{heputils}|.
\section{Requirements}
-\hepunits requires the \texpkg{SIunits}, \texpkg{xspace} and \texpkg{amsmath}
+\hepunits requires the \texpkg{siunitx} and \texpkg{amsmath}
packages to be installed as part of your \TeX{} distribution. I don't know of
any distributions for which this isn't the case, so chances are you're safe to
-just install \hepunits and use it right away!
+just install \hepunits and use it right away.
\section{Provided units}
The HEP units provided by \hepunits are listed in Tables \ref{tab:normunits} and
\ref{tab:hepunits} below. All the example outputs have been produced with a
-command like |\unit{1.0}{|\texgen{unit}|}| where \texgen{unit} is one of the
-unit commands listed in the tables.
+command like |\SI{1.0}{|\texgen{unit}|}| where \texgen{unit} is one of the unit
+commands listed in the first columns of the tables. Note that standard
+\texpkg{siunitx} parsing extensions like |\SI{1.23e-4}{\GeV}| $\to$
+\SI{1.23e-4}{\GeV}, and significant-digit control, also work but aren't shown
+here in the interests of brevity.
