-Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the
-combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination
-is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a
-consistent set of units with rules on how these are to be used.
-However, different countries and publishers have differing
-conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units).
-
-The siunitx provides a set of tools for authors to typeset
-numbers and units in a consistent way. The package has an
-extended set of configuration options which make it possible to
-follow varying typographic conventions with the same input
-syntax. The package includes automated processing of numbers
-and units, and the ability to control tabular alignment of
-numbers.
-
-A number of LaTeX packages have been developed in the past for
-formatting units: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef, unitspkg,
-fancyunits and fancynum. Support for users of all of these
-packages is available as emulation modules in siunitx. In
-addition, siunitx can carry out many of the functions of the
-dcolumn, rccol and numprint packages.
