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). A number of LaTeX -packages have been developed to provide consistent application of -the various rules: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units are -the leading examples. The numprint package provides a large number -of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers. - -The si package takes the best from the existing packages, and -adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new -ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing -provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with -SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one -package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX -users. |
