+cooking-units
+=============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+While writing a cookery book, units and their format can be quite
+troublesome. This contains not only the question of how to print those
+units, but also the question of the conversion of units. A cookery
+book doesn't contain only SI units, it contains a much more colorful
+range of units (kg, dag, g, oz, ... for example) and it may cause
+some confusion if too many different units are used, but if you just
+write a cookery book for fun you don't think about this ... until
+someone (my mother in my case) tells you that it's too confusing.
+
+This package solves both problems: It formats your input and you have
+the option to convert the units globally or locally using an easy to
+use key-value system.
+
+Please note that this package is not intended to be used to print
+units (and numbers) physically correct. It should be used for more
+light-hearted stuff (like a cookery book for example).
