+============================================================
+
+1. Abstract
+--------------------------
+
+There are a lot of packages for typesetting units in LaTeX2e.
+Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit 
+to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed
+available but do not predefine any unit.
+  This package tries to comply with both requirements. It 
+predefines common units, defines an easy to use interface to 
+define new units and changes the output concerning to the
+surrounding font settings.
+
+
+2. Contents of the package
+--------------------------
+
+    unitsdef.dtx
+    unitsdef.ins
+    README.1st (this file)
+    defedunits.tex
+    defedpraef.tex
+    unitsdef.pdf
+    ampabbrv.cfg  
+    freqabbr.cfg  
+    molabbrv.cfg  
+    volabbrv.cfg  
+    weigabbr.cfg
+    enerabbr.cfg  
+    lengabbr.cfg  
+    timeabbr.cfg  
+    voltabbr.cfg
+
+
+
+3. Installation
+--------------------------
+
+  - Run unitsdef.ins through latex to produce the packages style
+    file. 
+
+  - If you want to produce the documentation by yourself:
+    Run unitsdef.dtx through latex twice, run
+
+      makeindex -s gglo.ist -o unitsdef.gls unitsdef.glo 
+    
+    to produce the list of changes and 
+
+      makeindex -s gind.ist unitsdef
+    
+    and run unitsdef.dtx through latex again.
+
+
+  - If in your TDS already proper directories exist you should be able
+    to skip the next two steps
+
+    - Move the resulting .sty file to where latex finds it. On a TDS
+      compliant system this should be (substitute $TEXMF with your
+      texmf directory):
+
+        $TEXMF/tex/latex/unitsdef/
+
+    - Move all files from the config directory to a place where latex 
+      finds them.
+		
+	$TEXMF/tex/latex/unitsdef/config/	
+
+    - Move the documentation (unitsdef.pdf, if you haven't produced
+      your own copy in a different format) to a place where latex will
+      find it, usually, in a TDS compliant system:
+
+        $TEXMF/doc/unitsdef
+
+  - If you like to move the source files (.dtx, .ins and .tex) in a
+    source directory of your system.
+
+  - Update your filename database. How to do this depends on your
+    distribution.

+% There are a lot of packages for typesetting units in
+% \LaTeXe. Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit
+% to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed available
+% but do not predefine any unit.\par
+% This package tries to comply with both requirements. It predefines
+% common units, defines an easy to use interface to define new units and
+% changes the output concerning to the surrounding font settings.

+% feature request, providing general ideas or anything else:

+% \section{Packages loaded by \paket{unitsdef}}
+% \paket{unitsdef} loads (and so needs) the following packages with the given
+% options: 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \paket{[T1]fontenc}
+% \item \paket{textcomp}
+% \item \paket{amsmath}
+% \item \paket{units}
+% \item \paket{xspace} (as long as \option{noxspace}, see
+% section~\ref{sec:more-options}, isn't specified) 
+% \end{itemize}
+% The first two packages are needed for different characters in the
+% encodings set by these packages, \paket{amsmath} provides the very useful
+% |\text| macro and \paket{units} is used for typesetting the
+% units. \paket{xpsace} is included to obtain the facility to write
+% §5\mm and some text§ instead of §5\mm\ and some text§.
+% \section{General usage}\label{generell}
+% To use \paket{unitsdef} simply specify
+% \begin{verse}
+% \cmd{\usepackage}\oarg{options}|{unitsdef}|
+% \end{verse} 
+% in the preamble of your document.
+% \section{Options}\label{sec:options}
+% \subsection{Options related to \paket{gensymb}}\label{sec:gensymb-options}
+% \paket{unitsdef} knows three options to avoid conflicts with the
+% \paket{gensymb}-package that also predefines macros for typesetting
+% »\textmu«, »\textohm« and »\textcelsius«. Some macros are definied both by
+% \paket{gensymb} and \paket{unitsdef}. To solve this problem three different
+% options exist:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[OHM] makes \paket{unitsdef} use uppercase macros (\cmd{\Ohm},
+%   \cmd{\Celsius}, \cmd{\Micro} and \cmd{\Degree}). The predefined units with
+%   prefixes still appear lowercase (\cmd{\kiloohm}).
+% \item[ohm] is the opposite to \option{OHM} and is the default setting.
+% \item[redef-gensymb] This option copies \cmd{\ohm}, \cmd {\celsius},
+%   \cmd{\micro} and \cmd{\degree} from \paket{gensymb} to \cmd{\gensymbohm},
+%   \cmd{\gensymbcelsius}, \cmd{\gensymbmicro} and \cmd{\gensymbdegree}.
+%   \paket{unitsdef} then redefines this four commands so that they
+%   have the same meaning as without \paket{gensymb}. \textbf{Important:} To
+%   use this option \paket{gensymb} has to be loaded \emph{before}
+%   \paket{unitsdef}!
+% \end{description}
+% \subsection{More options}\label{sec:more-options}
+% \paket{unitsdef} knows some other options to change its behaviour:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[LITER] Makes \paket{unitsdef} use the \emph{uppercase} L as the sign produced
+% by \cmd{\liter}. This is default behaviour.
+% \item[liter] Makes \paket{unitsdef} use the \emph{lowercase} l as the sign produced
+% by \cmd{\liter}.
+% \item[noxspace] Maybe some problems occur due to the \paket{xspace}
+% functionality of \paket{unitsdef}. This option forces \paket{unitsdef} to do
+% without \paket{xspace}.
+% \item[noconfig] Tells \paket{unitsdef} not to look for a local
+% \paket{unitsdef} configuration file §unitsdef.cfg§ (see
+% section~\ref{config-file} for details).
+% \item[noabbrv] Is an abbreviation for \emph{no abbreviations}. \paket{unitsdef}
+% does not define any short commands for a unit. This might be helpfull if
+% another package defines a command with the same name and \LaTeX\ exits with
+% an error.
+% \item[ugly] Applies the option \option{ugly} to \paket{units}, thus all
+% units containing fraction will be typeset like m/s in text mode and
+% $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}$ in mathmode.
+% \item[\emph{skipping only particular abbreviations}] Usually only
+% one macro causes conflict between a definition made by
+% \paket{unitsdef} and another package. There are some options to
+% avoid loading only particular abbreviations to avoid the definition
+% that causes the conflict:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[noamperageabbr] Avoids defining the abbreviations for units of
+% amperage (\cmd{\pA}, \cmd{\nA}, \cmd{\micA}, \cmd{\mA}, \cmd{\kA}).
+% \item[nofrequncyabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\kHz}, \cmd{\MHz} and
+% \cmd{\GHz}.
+% \item[nomolabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\fmol}, \cmd{\pmol},
+% \cmd{\nmol}, \cmd{\micmol} and \cmd{\mmol}.
+% \item[novoltageabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\kV} and \cmd{\mv}.
+% \item[novolumeabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\fl}, \cmd{\pl}, \cmd{\nl},
+% \cmd{\micl}, \cmd{\ml}, \cmd{\cl} and \cmd{\dl}.
+% \item[noweightabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\kg}, \cmd{\fg}, \cmd{\pg},
+% \cmd{\nanog}, \cmd{\micg} and \cmd{\mg}.
+% \item[noenergyabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\kJ}, \cmd{\eV},
+% \cmd{\meV}, \cmd{\keV}, \cmd{\MeV}, \cmd{\GeV} and \cmd{\TeV}.
+% \item[nolengthabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\picom}, \cmd{\nm},
+% \cmd{\micm}, \cmd{\mm}, \cmd{\cm}, \cmd{\dm} and \cmd{\km}.
+% \item[notimeabbr] Avoids defining \cmd{\sek}, \cmd{\fs}, \cmd{\ps},
+% \cmd{\ns}, \cmd{\mics} and \cmd{\ms}.
+% \end{description}
+% \end{description}
+% \section{Typesetting units}\label{setzen}
+% \paket{unitsdef} includes a large set of predefined units. They are listed
+% in section~\ref{definierte}. These units, as well as units defined by 
+% you with \cmd{\newunit} (see below), can be used as follows:
+% \begin{verse}
+% |\|\meta{unitmacro}$\left[\left<\text{value}\right>\right]$
+% \end{verse}
+% As you see, the value is an optional argument. Thus you can write |5\kg|
+% (instead of |\kg[5]|), this may simplify the writing process. The distance
+% in both cases is |\unitvaluesep|.\par
+% If the optional argument is not used you still can write 
+% |5\kg and some text|
+%  due to the \paket{xspace} functionality of \paket{unitsdef}.\par
+% \DescribeMacro{\unitvaluesep} If you want another distance between value and
+% unit you simply have to redefine |\unitvaluesep|:
+% \begin{verse}
+% |\renewcommand{\unitvaluesep}{\hspace*{|$\left<\text{\textit{distance}}\right>$|}}|
+% \end{verse}
+% \DescribeMacro{\unitsignonly} If you want to typeset the sign of a unit
+% without any value (for introducing a new unit-sign f.e.) |\unitvaluesep|
+% must not be set. This is provided by the macro
+% |\unitsignonly{\<unitmacro>}|.\par
+% \textbf{Important!} If you want to specify a unit with a prefix, never use
+% something like |\milli\hour|. This will lead to problems. Always define the
+% units first using \cmd{\newunit} or use the command \cmd{\ilu} to
+% typeset an unit without defining it first!
+% \subsection{Inline units}\label{sec:inlineunits}
+% \DescribeMacro{\ilu}
+% Some packages for typesetting units provide the possibility to write
+% things like |\micro\meter| to obtain \unitsignonly{\micrometer}. With
+% \paket{unitsdef} this will cause some problems due to the toggling of
+% some internal switches. If you want to use prefices without defining
+% a new unit you have to use the command \cmd{\ilu}. It has one
+% optional and one mandatory argument. The first contains the value to
+% be typeset, the latter contains the unit:
+% \begin{example}
+% \noindent\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+%   \begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
+%     \begin{verbatim}
+% A force of 
+% \ilu[17]{\micro\newton} 
+% is applied. 
+% $F=17\ilu{\micro\newton}$
+% \textsf{17\ilu{\micro\newton}}
+%     \end{verbatim}
+%   \end{minipage}\hfill
+%   \colorbox{gray}{%
+%   \begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}  
+% A force of \ilu[17]{\micro\newton} is
+% applied. $F=17\ilu{\micro\newton}$% \textsf{17\ilu{\micro\newton}}
+%   \end{minipage}}
+% \end{minipage}
+% \end{example}
+% \subsection{Typesetting angles and arcs}\label{angles}
+% If you type |5\degree10\arcmin12\arcsec| you will get the following result:
+% \zitat{5\degree10\arcmin12\arcsec}. There are full spaces between the single
+% values and the preceding unit-symbol. This is due to the \paket{xspace} 
+% functionality of \paket{unitsdef}. The correct output you will obtain by using
+% the macro \cmd{\arc}\footnote{It is expected to have (nearly?) the same
+% usage and results as \cmd{\ang} from the \paket{SIstyle} package.}. Using 
+% it in this way |\arc{5;10;12}| will lead to  \zitat{\arc{5;10;12}}. There
+% are some more features of this macro, best understood if you look at this
+% example:
+% \begin{example}
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%  \begin{enumerate}
+%    \item \arc{1}      % 1
+%    \item \arc{1;2}    % 2
+%    \item \arc{1;2;3}  % 3
+%    \item \arc{;2;3}   % 4
+%    \item \arc{;;3}    % 5
+%    \item \arc{1;;2}   % 6
+%    \item \arc{1;;}    % 7 
+%    \item \arc{;;;}    % 8
+%  \end{enumerate}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{minipage}\hfill\colorbox{gray}{%
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}\small
+%  \begin{enumerate}
+%  \item \arc{1}
+%  \item \arc{1;2}
+%  \item \arc{1;2;3}
+%  \item \arc{;2;3}
+%  \item \arc{;;3}
+%  \item \arc{1;;2}
+%  \item \arc{1;;}
+%  \item \arc{;;;}
+%  \end{enumerate}
+% \end{minipage}}
+% \end{example}
+% \subsection{Logical markup for units}\label{sec:logicalmarkup}
+% One advantage of \paket{unitsdef} is that it typesets the units
+% suiting to the surrounding font settings. But some people
+% (magazines, universities, \ldots) want units always to be typeset in
+% a special way. There is a checklist available at
+% \url{http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html}. 
+% \paket{unitsdef} does not fit to all these requirements by
+% default. But there are some macros for figuring out the
+% output. \DescribeMacro{\SI}First, there is the command \cmd{\SI} which typesets (by
+% default) all units in upright shape, but doesn't change anything
+% else according to the font settings. The command \cmd{\SI} has two
+% mandatory arguments, the first has to contain the value, the latter
+% contains the unit:
+% \begin{example}
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
+%   \begin{verbatim}
+%  \textbf{\textit{A force of  
+%   \SI{17}{\newton} 
+%   was applied.}} 
+%   \end{verbatim}
+% \end{minipage}\hfill\colorbox{gray}{%
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
+% \textbf{\textit{A force of \SI{17}{\newton} was applied.}}
+% \end{minipage}}
+% \end{example} 
+% If you want to customize the output of \cmd{\SI}, you can redefine
+% the macro \cmd{\unitSIdef}. By default it contains \cmd{\upright},
+% but if you want units to be typeset upright in serif family, you can
+% achieve this by redefining it to |\upshape\rmfamily|:
+% \begin{example}
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
+%   \begin{verbatim}
+%  \renewcommand{\unitSIdef}
+%    {\upshape\rmfamily}
+%  \textsf{\textbf{\textit{%
+%   A force of  
+%   \SI{17}{\newton} 
+%   was applied.}}}
+%   \end{verbatim}
+% \end{minipage}\hfill\colorbox{gray}{%
+% \begingroup
+% \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
+%  \renewcommand{\unitSIdef}{\upshape\rmfamily}
+%  \textsf{\textbf{\textit{%
+%   A force of  
+%   \SI{17}{\newton} 
+%   was applied.}}}
+% \end{minipage}\endgroup}
+% \end{example} 
+% \section{The interface}\label{schnittstelle}
+% \subsection{Defining new units}
+% \DescribeMacro{\newunit}
+% Besides the predefined unit-macros (see section~\ref{definierte})
+% \paket{unitsdef} offers the possibility to define new
+% units. This is done with the macro \cmd{\newunit}:
+% \begin{verse}
+% \cmd{\newunit}\{|\|\meta{unitmacro}\}\marg{unitsign}
+% \end{verse}
+% To typeset a unit \emph{Newton} (represented by |N|) you have to
+% define\footnote{You do not really have to define \emph{newton}, it is
+% already defined by \paket{unitsdef}. This is just an example.} it
+% as follows:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \newunit{\newton}{N}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% After this you can use the macro \cmd{\newton}:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     5\newton plus \newton[3] is 8\newton.
+% \end{verbatim}
+% This will give the following output:
+% \begin{verse}
+% 5\newton plus \newton[3] is 8\newton.
+% \end{verse}
+% To define a unit \emph{millinewton} (|mN|) simply define:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \newunit{\millinewton}{\milli\newton}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% \DescribeMacro{\renewunit} For redefining units, the macro
+% \cmd{\renewunit} can be used with the same syntax as \cmd{\newunit} 
+% (on the lines of \cmd{\newcommand} and \cmd{\renewcommand}).\par
+% \DescribeMacro{\newnosepunit} As an additional facility to define new units
+% the macro \cmd{\newnosepunit} exists with the same syntax as \cmd{\newunit}.
+% It allows you to define a unit without  any space between the value and the
+% unit-symbol. The only unit I know typeset without leading space is
+% \emph{degree}. You typeset 5\degree instead of 5\,\degree. But maybe there
+% are other units that must not have leading space, so I included this command
+% in the user interface. 
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\renewnosepunit} If you want to redifine a unit to be typeset 
+% without leading space, use \cmd{\renewnosepunit}.\par
+% \DescribeMacro{\per} To typeset units containing a fraction the macro
+% \cmd{\per} is defined. The usage is:
+% \begin{verse}
+% \cmd{\per}\marg{numerator}\marg{denominator}
+% \end{verse}
+% To define \emph{newton per squaremeter} you have to say:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \newunit{\newtonpersmeter}{\per{\newton}{\squaremeter}}
+% \end{verbatim}\par
+% \DescribeMacro{\unittimes} To typeset a multiplication sign between two
+% units the macro \cmd{\unittimes}  is used:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \newunit{\newtonmeter}{\newton\unittimes\meter}

+% Typesetting units would be quite easy without \emph{Ohm} and \emph{micro}
+% (\emph{degree} and \emph{degree Celsius} as well). The representing
+% characters \textmu\ and  \textohm\ have to exist in three variants: One for
+% use in math-mode 
+% (suiting to \cmd{\mathrm}) the latter two for use in \cmd{\rmfamily} and
+% \cmd{\sffamily}. Most fonts have a suiting \textmu\ but very few fonts own a
+% \textohm. The fonts from \name{Bitstream} (delivered with some versions of
+% \name{Corel Draw}) have an italic non-suiting \textmu, so you have to take care
+% of a \textmu\ when using such fonts, too. Also the \textmu\ in Latin Modern
+% fonts isn't very good looking yet (but LM is still in
+% beta-state). Because of nearly infinite combinations of different
+% fonts it is impossible to choose the correct characters for \textmu,
+% \textohm\ and \textcelsius\ automatically. To define these characters
+% use the macros \cmd{\setTextOmega}, \cmd{\setMathOmega}, \cmd{\setTextmu},
+% \cmd{\setMathmu}, \cmd{\setTextCelsius}, \cmd{\setMathCelsius},
+% \cmd{\setMathDegree} and \cmd{\setTextDegree}:
+% \begin{verse}
+% \cmd{\setTextOmega}\marg{serif-definition}\marg{sans-serif-definition}\\
+% \cmd{\setMathOmega}\marg{definition}\\[.5\baselineskip]
+% \cmd{\setTextmu}\marg{serif-definition}\marg{sans-serif-definition}\\

+% \cmd{\setMathDegree}\marg{definition}
+% \end{verse}
+% \textbf{Important!}  The macros concerning typesetting in math-mode use
+% \paket{amsamth}'s \cmd{\text}-macro. So you have to switch to math-mode to use a
+% character out of the math alphabet. The reason for this is
+% \paket{units}. \paket{units} uses \cmd{\mathrm} to typeset in math-mode. But only few
+% mathfonts have a suitable \textohm, for example:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \documentclass{article}
+%
+%     \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+%     \usepackage{textcomp}
+%     \usepackage{mathpazo}
+%
+%     \begin{document}
+%       $\Omega\qquad\mathrm{\Omega}$
+%     \end{document}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% \paket{unitsdef} sets the defaults in a way suitable to the CM-family:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%     \setMathOmega{$\mathrm{\Omega}$}
+%     \setMathmu{\textmu}
+%     \setTextOmega{\textohm}{\textohm}
+%     \setTextmu{\textmu}{\textmu}
+%     \setMathCelsius{\textcelsius}
+%     \setTextCelsius{\textcelsius}{\textcelsius}
+%     \setMathDegree{\textdegree}
+%     \setTextDegree{\textdegree}{\textdegree}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% To find a suitable \textohm\ for different fonts use \name{Walter Schmidt}'s
+% \paket{gensymb}-package\footnote{\texttt{CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/was/}}
+% and read the documentation of this package.
+% \section{Local configuration file}\label{config-file}
+% Since version~0.2 unitsdef by default looks for a file §unitsdef.cfg§ and
+% inputs its contents. This is useful if you frequently use a similar set of
+% units in your documents. You put your definitions in §unitsdef.cfg§ and they
+% are included automaticly in your document\footnote{Keep in mind that \TeX\
+% has to find the file, so follow the instructions given by your
+% \TeX-distribution. On §*nix§-like systems and a TDS compliant distribution it might
+% be possible to put |unitsdef.cfg| in \texttt{\textasciitilde}|/texmf/tex/latex/unitsdef/config/|
+% and update the filename database.}
+%
+% A configuration file may look like this: 
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \ProvidesFile{unitsdef.cfg}%
+%    [2004/12/09 v1.0 some definitions for unitsdef]
+% 
+% \newunit{\molar}{\per{\mole}{\liter}}
+% \newunit{\millimolar}{\per{\millimole}{\liter}}
+%
+% \endinput
+% \end{verbatim}
+% If, by some reason, you don't want your local config file to be loaded
+% specify the option \option{noconfig} in the \cmd{\usepackage} command.

+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item Add some more macros to figure out the ouptut (something
+% similar to \cmd{\SI}). Provide the possibility to typeset all units
+% in math mode.
+% \item Improve the documentation.
+% \item Adding interfaces units for \AA, \textperthousand\ and \unitsignonly{\degree}F
