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. diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/latex/si/si.pdf b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/latex/si/si.pdf Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..fd3177798aa --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/latex/si/si.pdf |
