+
+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.
