cooking-units
=============

Overview
--------

While writing a cookery book, units and their format can be quite
troublesome. This contains not only the question of how to print those
units, but also the question of the conversion of units. A cookery book
doesn't contain only SI units, it contains a much more colorful range
of units (kg, dag, g, oz, ... for example) and it may cause some
confusion if too many different units are used, but if you just write a
cookery book for fun you don't think about this ... until someone
(my mother in my case) tells you that it's too confusing.

This package solves both problems: It formats your input and
you have the option to convert the units globally or locally using an
easy to use key-value system.

Please note that this package is not intended to be used to
print units (and numbers) physically correct. It should be used for
more light-hearted stuff (like a cookery book for example).
