+\title{Writing a \TeX\ length in ISO style\thanks{Thanks to Heiko Oberdiek}\\[7pt] \normalsize v. \FV}
+\author{Herbert Voß}

+
+\section{How it works}
+By default \TeX\ writes an internal length in the following way:
+
+\verb|\the\baselineskip|$\rightarrow$\the\baselineskip
+
+There is no space between value and unit. Package \texttt{isopt} provides the macro
+\texttt{\textbackslash ISO} which needs a \TeX\ length as argument and prints
+it with the default \verb|\thinspace|
+
+\verb|\ISO\the\baselineskip|$\rightarrow$\ISO\the\baselineskip
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\sbox0{Hello World}
+The box is \ISO\wd0\ wide, \ISO\ht0\ high and has a depth of \ISO\dp0.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\sbox0{Hello World}
+The box is \ISO\wd0\ wide, \ISO\ht0\ high and has a depth of \ISO\dp0.
+
+
+There is also a short form \verb|\THE| which is defined as \verb|\ISO\the|.
+It saves only some keystrokes:
+
+\verb|\THE\tabcolsep|$\rightarrow$\THE\tabcolsep
+
+
+If you prefer the tilde \verb|~| as space between value and unit, then pass
+it as optional argument of the package:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[space=~]{isopt}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The predefined space is \verb|\usepackage[space=\thinspace]{isopt}|
+
+\section{Limitations}
+
+The current version does not support a rubber length like \verb|\the\parskip|$\rightarrow$\the\parskip
