%\begin{abstract}
%\noindent This article describes the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package that provides support for
%the \textsf{Syst\`{e}me International d'Unit\'{e}s} (SI).
%
%The Syst\`{e}me International d'Unit\'{e}s (SI), the modern form of the metric system, is the
%most widely used system of units and measures around the world. But despite this there is
%widespread misuse of the system with incorrect names and symbols used as a matter a

%often do we see: \milli\hertz, \mega hz or \milli hz written when referring to computer
%clock rates? The correct form is actually \mega\hertz. Note that the capitalisation does
%matter.

%Hence, a clear system for the use of units is needed, satisfying the next principles:
%\begin{enumerate}

%\item multiples and submultiples of the units should be decimal.

%international abbreviation SI was adopted by the Conf\'{e}rence G\'{e}n\'{e}rale des Poids et Mesures
%(CGPM) in 1960. It is a coherent system based on seven base units (CGPM 1960 and 1971).

%\section{Introduction}
%
%\subsection{Historical notes}
%In 1948 the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM\footnote{See section
%\ref{acronyms} for acronyms}), by its Resolution 6, instructed the International
%Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM\footnotemark[\value{footnote}]):
%\begin{verse}
%`to study the establishment of a complete set of rules for units of measurement';
%
%`to find out for this purpose, by official inquiry, the opinion prevailing in scientific,
%technical, and educational circles in all countries'; and
%
%`to make recommendations on the establishment of a \textit{practical system of units of
%measurement} suitable for adoption by all signatories to the Meter Convention.'
%\end{verse}
%
%The same General Conference also laid down, by its Resolution 7, general principles for
%unit symbols and also gave a list of units with special names.
%
%
%The 10th CGPM (1954), by its Resolution 6, and the 14th CGPM (1971), by its Resolution 3,
%adopted as base units of this `practical system of units,' the units of the following
%seven quantities: length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount
%of substance, and luminous intensity.
%
%
%The 11th CGPM (1960), by its Resolution 12, adopted the name \textit{Syst\`{e}me
%International d'Unit\'{e}s (International System of Units)}, with the international
%abbreviation \textit{SI}, for this practical system of units of measurement, and laid
%down rules for the prefixes, the derived and supplementary units, and other matters, thus
%establishing a comprehensive specification for units of measurement.
%
%\subsection{The classes of SI units}
%The General Conference decided to base the International
%System on a choice of seven well-defined units which by convention are regarded as
%dimensionally independent: the metre, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin,
%the mole, and the candela. These units are called \textit{base units}.
%
%
%The second class of SI units contain \textit{derived units}, i.\,e., units that can be
%formed by combining base units according to the algebraic relations linking the
%corresponding quantities. The names and symbols of some units thus formed in terms of
%base units can be replaced by special names and symbols which can themselves be used to
%form expressions and symbols of other derived units (see section \ref{derived}, p.
%\pageref{derived}).
%
%
%The 11th CGPM (1960) admitted a third class of SI units, called \textit{supplementary
%units} and containing the SI units of plane and solid angle.
%
%
%The 20th CGPM (1995) decided to eliminate the class of supplementary units as a separate
%class in the SI. Thus the SI now consists of only two classes of units: base units and
%derived units, with the radian and the steradian, which are the two supplementary units,
%subsumed into the class of derived SI units.
%
%
%\subsection{The SI prefixes}
%The General Conference has adopted a series of prefixes to be used in forming the decimal
%multiples and submultiples of SI units. Following CIPM Recommendation~1 (1969), the set
%of prefixes is designated by the name \textit{SI prefixes}.
%
%The multiples and submultiples of SI units, which are formed by using the SI prefixes,
%should be designated by their complete name, \textit{multiples and submultiples of SI
%units}, in order to make a distinction between them and the coherent set of SI units
%proper.
%
%\subsection{Acronyms}
%\label{acronyms} The SI was established in 1960 by the CGPM. The CGPM is an
%intergovernmental treaty organisation created by a diplomatic treaty called the Meter
%Convention (\textit{Convention du M\`{e}tre}, often called the Treaty of the Meter in the
%United States). The Meter Convention was signed in Paris in 1875 by representatives of
%seventeen nations, including the United States. There are now forty-eight Member States,
%including all the major industrialised countries. The Convention, modified slightly in
%1921, remains the basis of all international agreement on units of measurement.
%
%The Meter Convention also created the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM,
%Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) and the International Committee for Weights
%and Measures (CIPM, Comit\'{e} International des Poids et Mesures). The BIPM, which is
%located in S\`{e}vres, a suburb of Paris, France, and which has the task of ensuring
%worldwide unification of physical measurements, operates under the exclusive supervision
%of the CIPM, which itself comes under the authority of the CGPM.
%

%\begin{description}
%\item[CGPM] General Conference on Weights and Measures (\textit{Conf\'{e}rence G\'{e}n\'{e}rale des Poids
%et Mesures}). The CGPM is the primary intergovernmental treaty organisation responsible
%for the SI, representing nearly 50 countries. It has the responsibility of ensuring that
%the SI is widely disseminated and modifying it as necessary so that it reflects the
%latest advances in science and technology.
%
%\item[CIPM] International Committee for Weights and Measures (\textit{Comit\'{e} International des
%Poids et Mesures}). The CIPM comes under the authority of the CGPM. It suggests
%modifications to the SI to the CGPM for formal adoption. The CIPM may also on its own
%authority pass clarifying resolutions and recommendations regarding the SI.
%
%\item[BIPM] International Bureau of Weights and Measures (\textit{Bureau International des
%Poids et Mesures}). The BIPM, located outside Paris, has the task of ensuring worldwide
%unification of physical measurements. It is the ``international" metrology institute, and
%operates under the exclusive supervision of the CIPM.

%\subsection{Some useful definitions}
%\begin{description}
%\item [quantity in the general sense] A quantity in the general sense is a property ascribed to phenomena, bodies, or
%substances that can be quantified for, or assigned to, a particular phenomenon, body, or
%substance. Examples are mass and electric charge.
%\item [quantity in the particular sense] A quantity in the particular sense is a quantifiable or assignable property ascribed
%to a particular phenomenon, body, or substance. Examples are the mass of the moon and the
%electric charge of the proton.
%\item [physical quantity] A physical quantity is a quantity that can be used in the mathematical equations of
%science and technology.
%\item [unit] A unit is a particular physical quantity, defined and adopted by convention, with
%which other particular quantities of the same kind are compared to express their value.
%\end{description}
%
%
%\noindent The \textbf{value of a physical quantity} is the quantitative expression of a
%particular physical quantity as the product of a number and a unit, the number being its
%numerical value. Thus, the numerical value of a particular physical quantity depends on
%the unit in which it is expressed.
%
%\label{celsiusexample}
%More formally, the value of quantity \(A\) can be written as \(A=\lbrace A\rbrace [A]\),
%where \(\{A\}\) is the numerical value of \(A\) when \(A\) is expressed in the unit
%\([A]\). The numerical value can therefore be written as \(\lbrace A\rbrace=A/[A]\),
%which is a convenient form for use in figures and tables. Thus to eliminate the
%possibility of misunderstanding, an axis of a graph or the heading of a column of a table
%can be labelled `\(t\)\per\celsius' instead of `\(t\)(\celsius)' or `Temperature
%(\celsius)'. Similarly, another example: `\(E/\)(\voltpermetre)' instead of
%`\(E\)(\voltpermetre)' or `Electric field strength (\voltpermetre)'.
%
%\addunit{\foot}{ft}
%\Fe the value of the height \(h_{W}\) of the Washington Monument is \(h_{W} = \unit{169}{\metre}=
%\unit{555}{\foot}\)\footnote{foot (\foot) is not part of the SI units}. Here \(h_{W}\) is the physical quantity, its value expressed in the
%unit metre, unit symbol \metre, is \unit{169}{\metre}, and its numerical value when
%expressed in metres is \(169\).

%\subsubsection{Definitions}
%The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually
%independent. The primary definitions of the SI base units are in French. Their current
%definitions, along with an English translation, are given below:

%\item[]
%{The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval
%of \(1/\intfmt{299792458}\) of a second.}
%\end{description}
%\paragraph*{kilogram; \textit{kilogramme}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{Le kilogramme est l'unit\'{e} de masse; il est \'{e}gal \`{a} la masse du prototype
%international du kilogramme.}\\ (1st CGPM (1889) and 3rd CGPM (1901)).\nonfrenchspacing
%\item[]
%{The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype
%of the kilogram.} \\{\textit{Note}: This international prototype is made of
%platinum-iridium and is kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, S\`{e}vres,
%France.}
%\end{description}
%\paragraph*{second; \textit{seconde}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{La seconde est la dur\'{e}e de \(9\digitsep192\digitsep631\digitsep770\) p\'{e}riodes de
%la radiation correspondant \`{a} la transition entre les deux niveaux hyperfins de l'\'{e}tat
%fondamental de l'atome de cesium 133.} \\(13th CGPM (1967), Resolution 1).\nonfrenchspacing
%\item[]
%{The second is the duration of \(9\digitsep192\digitsep631\digitsep770\) periods of the

%state of the cesium-\(133\) atom.}
%\end{description}
%\textit{Note}: This definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of \unit{0}{\kelvin}.
%\paragraph*{ampere; \textit{amp\`{e}re}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{L'amp\`{e}re est l'intensit\'{e} d'un courant constant qui, maintenu dans deux

%(9th CGPM (1948), Resolutions 2 and 7).\nonfrenchspacing
%\item[]
%{The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel
%conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre
%apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to \(\sci{2e-7}\)
%newton per metre of length.}
%\end{description}
%\paragraph*{kelvin; \textit{kelvin}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{Le kelvin, unit\'{e} de temp\'{e}rature thermodynamique, est la fraction \(1/273.16\) de

%4).\nonfrenchspacing
%\item[]
%{The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction \(1/273.16\) of the
%thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.}
%\end{description}
%\textit{Note}: The 13th CGPM (1967, Resolution 3) also decided that the unit kelvin
%and its symbol \kelvin\ should be used to express
%both thermodynamic temperature and an interval or a difference of temperature, instead of
%`degree Kelvin' with symbol \degree\kelvin.
%
%
%In addition to the thermodynamic temperature (symbol \(T\)) there is also the Celsius
%(symbol \(t\)) defined by the equation \(t= T-T_{0}\) where \(T_{0}=\)
%\unit{273.15}{\kelvin}. Celsius temperature is expressed in degree Celsius; \textit{degr\'{e}
%Celsius} (symbol \celsius). The unit `degree Celsius' is equal to the unit
%`kelvin'; in this case, `degree Celsius' is a special name used in place of `kelvin'. A
%temperature interval or difference of Celsius temperature can, however, be expressed in
%kelvins as well as in degrees Celsius.
%
%\paragraph*{mole; \textit{mole}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{1°. La mole est la quantit\'{e} de mati\`{e}re d'un syst\`{e}me contenant autant d'entit\'{e}s

%\item[]
%{1. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary
%entities as there are atoms in \(0.012\) kilogram of carbon \(12\).}
%\item[]
%{2. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms,
%molecules, ions, electrons, other particles or specified groups of such
%particle.}
%\end{description}
%\textit{Note}: In this definition, it is understood that the carbon 12 atoms
%are unbound, at rest and in their ground state.
%\paragraph*{candela; \textit{candela}}
%\begin{description}
%\item[]
%\frenchspacing\textit{La candela est l'intensit\'{e} lumineuse, dans une direction donn\'{e}e, d'une source qui

%other quantities.
%\subsubsection{Units expressed in terms of base units}
%Table~\ref{table:derived1} lists some examples of derived units expressed directly in

%\subsubsection{Use of SI derived units with special names and symbols}
%Examples of SI derived units that can be expressed with the aid of SI derived units
%having special names and symbols (including the radian and steradian) are given in
%table~\ref{table:derived2}. The advantages of using the special names and symbols of SI
%derived units are apparent in table~\ref{table:derived3}. Consider, for example, the
%quantity molar entropy: the unit \joenit{\joule\per\mole.\kelvin}\ is obviously more easily
%understood than its SI base-unit equivalent,
%\joenit{\squaremetre.\kilogram.\second\rpsquared.\reciprocal\kelvin\reciprocal\mole}.
%Nevertheless, it should always be recognised that the special names and symbols exist for
%convenience. Tables~\ref{table:derived2}~\&~\ref{table:derived3} also show that the
%values of several different quantities are expressed in the same SI unit. For example,
%the joule per kelvin (\joule\per\kelvin) is the SI unit for heat capacity as well as for
%entropy. Thus the name of the unit is not sufficient to define the quantity measured. A
%derived unit can often be expressed in several different ways through the use of base
%units and derived units with special names. In practice, with certain quantities,
%preference is given to using certain units with special names, or combinations of units,
%to facilitate the distinction between quantities whose values have identical expressions
%in terms of SI base units. For example, the SI unit of frequency is specified as the
%hertz (Hz) rather than the reciprocal second (\reciprocal\second), and the SI unit of
%moment of force is specified as the newton metre (\newtonmetre) rather than the joule
%(\joule).

% \subsection{Dimension of a quantity}
% Any SI derived quantity \(Q\) can be expressed in terms of the SI base quantities length
% (\(l\)), mass (\(m\)), time (\(t\)), electric current (\(I\)), thermodynamic temperature
% (\(T\)), amount of substance (\(n\)), and luminous intensity (\(I_{\mathrm{v}}\)) by an
% equation of the form
% \[
% Q = l^{\alpha}m^{\beta}t^{\gamma}I^{\delta}T^{\varepsilon}n^{\zeta}I_{\mathrm{v}}^{\eta}
% \sum\limits_{k = 1}^K {a_k} ,
% \]
% where the exponents \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\), \(\ldots\) are numbers and the
% factors \(a_{k}\) are also numbers. The dimension of \(Q\) is defined to be
% \[
% \dim Q = \dimn{L}^{\alpha} \dimn{M}^{\beta} \dimn{T}^{\gamma} \dimn{I}^{\delta}
% \dimn{\Theta}^{\varepsilon} \dimn{N}^{\zeta} \dimn{J}^{\eta} ,
% \]
% where \dimn{L}, \dimn{M}, \dimn{T}, \dimn{I}, \dimn{\Theta}, \dimn{N} and \dimn{J}\ are
% the dimensions of the SI base quantities length, mass, time, electric current,
% thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity, respectively. The
% exponents \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\), \(\ldots\) are called ``dimensional
% exponents''. The SI derived unit of \(Q \) is \(\joenit{\metre^{\alpha}.\kilogram^{\beta}
%.\second^{\gamma}.\ampere^{\delta}.\kelvin^{\varepsilon}.\mole^{\zeta}
%.\candela^{\eta}}\), which is obtained by replacing the dimensions of the SI base
% quantities in the dimension of \(Q\) with the symbols for the corresponding base units.
% \begin{quote}
% \Fe\ Consider a nonrelativistic particle of mass \(m\) in uniform motion which travels a
% distance \(l\) in a time \(t\). Its velocity is \(\upsilon=l / t\) and its kinetic energy
% is \(E_{\mathrm{k}} =m\upsilon^{2} /2 = l^{2}mt^{-2} / 2\). The dimension of
% \(E_{\mathrm{k}}\) is \(\dim E_{\mathrm{k}} = \dimn{L}^{2}\dimn{M}\dimn{T}^{-2}\) and the
% dimensional exponents are \(2\), \(1\), and~\(-2\). The SI derived unit of \(E_{\mathrm{k}}\) is then
% \(\joenit{\metre\squared.\kilogram.\second\rpsquared}\), which is given the special name
% ``joule'' and special symbol \joule.
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsubsection{Units for dimensionless quantities, quantities of dimension one}
% A derived quantity of dimension one, which is sometimes called a ``dimensionless
% quantity'', is one for which all of the dimensional exponents are zero: \(\dim Q = 1\). It
% therefore follows that the derived unit for such a quantity is also the number one,
% symbol 1, which is sometimes called a ``dimensionless derived unit''.
% Thus the SI unit of all quantities having the dimensional product one is the
% number one. Examples of such quantities are refractive index, relative permeability, and
% friction factor. All of these quantities are described as being dimensionless, or of
% dimension one, and have the coherent SI unit 1. Their values are simply expressed as
% numbers and, in general, the unit 1 is not explicitly shown.
% \begin{quote}
% \Fe\ The mass fraction \(w_{\mathrm{B}}\) of a substance B in a mixture is given by
% \(w_{\mathrm{B}} = m_{\mathrm{B}}/m\), where \(w_{\mathrm{B}}\) is the mass of B and
% \(m\) is the mass of the mixture. The dimension of \(w_{\mathrm{B}}\) is \(\dim
% w_{\mathrm{B}} = \dimn{M}^{1} \dimn{M}^{-1} = 1\); all of the dimensional exponents of
% \(w_{\mathrm{B}}\) are zero, and its derived unit is \(\joenit{\kilogram^{1}.\kilogram^{-1}}=
% 1\) also.
% \end{quote}
% In a few cases, however, a special name is given to this unit, mainly to avoid
% confusion between some compound derived units. This is the case for the radian,
% steradian and neper.
%
%\subsection{Rules and style conventions for writing and using SI unit symbols}
%The general principles concerning writing the unit symbols were adopted by the 9th CPGM
%(1948), by its Resolution 7:
%\begin{enumerate}
%\item Roman (upright) type, in general lower case\footnote{The recommended symbol for the
%litre (`liter') in the United States is \liter.}, is used for the unit symbols. If,
%however, the name of the unit is derived from a proper name, the first letter of the symbol
%is in upper case.
% \item Unit symbols are unaltered in the plural.
% \item Unit symbols are not followed by a period\footnote{Unless at the end of a sentence.}.
%\end{enumerate}
%To ensure uniformity in the use of the SI unit symbols, ISO International Standards give
%certain recommendations. Following these recommendations:
%\begin{list}{a)}{}
%\item The product of two or more units are indicated by means of either a half-high (that
%is, centred) dot or a space\footnote{ISO suggests that if a space is used to indicate units
%formed by multiplication, the space may be omitted if it does not cause confusion. This
%possibility is reflected in the common practice of using the symbol \kilo\watt\hour\ rather
%than \kilo\watt\(\cdot\)\hour\ or \joenit{\kilo\watt.\hour}\ for the kilowatt hour.}. The
%half-high dot is preferred, because it is less likely to lead to confusion,
% \begin{list}{}{}
% \item \fe
% \item \newton\(\cdot\)\metre\ or \(\newton\;\metre\).
% \end{list}
%\end{list}
%\begin{list}{b)}{}
% \item A solidus (oblique stroke,/), a horizontal line, or negative exponents may be used to
%express a derived unit formed from two others by division,
% \begin{list}{}{}
% \item \fe
% \item \metre\per\second,\ \(\frac{\metre}{\second}\),\ or \joenit{\metre.\reciprocal\second}
% \end{list}
%\end{list}
%\begin{list}{c)}{}
% \item The solidus must not be repeated on the same line unless ambiguity is avoided by
% parentheses. In complicated cases negative exponents or parentheses should be used,
% \begin{list}{}{}
% \item \fe
% \item \metre\per\second\squared\ or\ \joenit{\metre.\second\rpsquared}\ \textit{but not:\ }\metre\per\second\per\second\
% \item \joenit{\metre.\kilogram\per(\cubic\second.\ampere)}\ or
% \joenit{\metre.\kilogram.\rpcubic\second.\reciprocal\ampere}\ \textit{but not:}\ \joenit{\metre.\kilogram\per\cubic\second\per\ampere}
% \end{list}
%\end{list}
%\subsubsection{Space between numerical value and unit symbol}
%In the expression for the value of a quantity, the unit symbol is placed after the numerical value
%and a space is left between the numerical value and the unit symbol.
%The only exceptions to this rule are for the unit symbols for degree, minute, and second for plane
%angle: \degree, \paminute, and \pasecond, respectively (see Table~\ref{table:accepted1}), in which case
%no space is left between the numerical value and the unit symbol.
% \begin{list}{}{}
% \item \fe
% \item \(\alpha = \unit{30}{\degree}\unit{22}{\paminute}\unit{8}{\pasecond}\) Note: \(\alpha\) is a quantity symbol for plane angle.
% \end{list}
% This rule means that the symbol \celsius\ for the degree Celsius is preceded by a space when one expresses the values of
% Celsius temperatures.
% \begin{list}{}{}
% \item \fe
% \item \(t = \unit{30.2}{\celsius}\) \textit{but not} \(t = 30.2\celsius\)
% \end{list}
%\section{SI Prefixes}
%\subsection{Decimal multiples and submultiples of SI units}
%The 11th CGPM (1960), by its Resolution 12, adopted a first series of prefixes and symbols
%of prefixes to form the names and symbols of the decimal multiples and submultiples of SI
%units. Prefixes for \power {10}{-15} and \power {10}{-18} were added by the 12th CGPM
%(1964), by its Resolution 8, those for \power {10}{15} and \power {10}{18} by the CGPM
%(1975), by its Resolution 10, and those for \power {10}{21}, \power {10}{24}, \power {10}
%{-21}, and \power {10}{-24} were proposed by the CIPM for approval by the 19th CGPM (1991),
%and adopted. The prefixes are as shown in tabel~\ref{table:prefixes}.

%   \subsection{Rules for using SI prefixes}
%   In accord with the general principles adopted by the ISO\footnote{ISO 31, in `Units of
%   measurement,' ISO Standards Handbook 2, 2nd Edition, ISO, Geneva, 1982, pp. 17--238}, the
%   CIPM recommends that the following rules for using the SI prefixes be observed:
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Prefix symbols are printed in roman (upright) type without spacing between the prefix
%   symbol and the unit symbol. \item The grouping formed by the prefix symbol attached to the
%   unit symbol constitutes a new inseparable symbol (of a multiple of the unit concerned) which
%   can be raised to a positive or negative power and which can be combined with other unit
%   symbols to form compound unit symbols,
%   \begin{list}{}{}
%   \item \fe
%    \item \(\unit{1}{\centi\cubic\metre} = \cubic{(\unit{\power{10}{-2}}{\metre})} = \unit{\power{10}{-6}}{\cubic\metre}\)
%    \item \(\unit{1}{\reciprocal{\centi\metre}} = \reciprocal{(\unit{\centid}{\metre})} = \unit{\hectod}{\reciprocal\metre}\)
%    \item \(\unit{1}{\volt\per\centi\metre} = (\unit{1}{\volt})\per(\unit{\centid}{\metre}) = \unit{\hectod}{\volt\per\metre}\)
%   \end{list}
%   \item Compound prefixes, i.\,e., prefixes formed by juxtaposition of two or more SI prefixes
%   are not to be used,
%   \begin{list}{}{}
%   \item \fe \item \unit{1}{\pico\gram}\ (one picogram), \textit{but not} \unit{1}
%   {\milli\nano\gram}\ (one millinanogram)
%   \end{list}
%   \item A prefixes should never be used alone,
%   \begin{list}{}{}
%   \item \fe \item \megad\per\cubic\metre, \textit{but not}
%   \mega\per\cubic\metre
%   \end{list}
%   \end{enumerate}
%   \subsubsection{The kilogram}
%   It is important to note that the kilogram is the only SI unit with a prefix as part of its
%   name and symbol. Because multiple prefixes may not be used, in the case of the kilogram the
%   prefix names are used with the unit name `gram' and the prefix symbols are used with the
%   unit symbol \gram, \fe\\ \unit{\microd}{\kilogram}\ = \unit{1}{\milli\gram}\ (one
%   milligram), \textit{but not} \unit{\microd}{\kilogram}\ = \unit{1}{\micro\kilogram} ~(one
%   microkilogram).
%   \subsubsection{The `degree Celsius'} Except for the kilogram, any SI prefix may be used with any SI unit,
%   including the `degree Celsius' and its symbol \celsius, \fe \\
%   \unit{\millid}{\celsius}\ = \unit{1}{\milli\celsius}\ (one millidegree Celsius), \textit{or}
%   \unit{\megad}{\celsius}\ = \unit{1}{\mega\celsius}.
%    \section{Prefixes for binary multiples} In December 1998 the International
%    Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the leading international organization for worldwide
%    standardization in electrotechnology, approved as an IEC International Standard names and
%    symbols for prefixes for binary multiples for use in the fields of data processing and

%    It is suggested that in English, the first syllable of the name of the binary-multiple
%    prefix should be pronounced in the same way as the first syllable of the name of the
%    corresponding SI prefix, and that the second syllable should be pronounced as ``bee".
%
%\subsubsection*{Note}
%It is important to recognize that the new prefixes for binary multiples are \textit{not}
%part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system. However, for
%ease of understanding and recall, they were derived from the SI prefixes for positive
%powers of ten. As can be seen from the above table, the name of each new prefix is
%derived from the name of the corresponding SI prefix by retaining the first two letters
%of the name of the SI prefix and adding the letters ``\textrm{bi}", which recalls the word
%``binary". Similarly, the symbol of each new prefix is derived from the symbol of the
%corresponding SI prefix by adding the letter ``\textrm{i}", which again recalls the word
%``binary". (For consistency with the other prefixes for binary multiples, the symbol
%\kibi\ is used for \kibid\ rather than \textrm{ki}.)
%\subsection{Official publication}
%These prefixes for binary multiples, which were developed by IEC Technical Committee (TC)
%25, Quantities and units, and their letter symbols, with the strong support of the
%International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) and the Institute of Electrical
%and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), were adopted by the IEC as \textit{Amendment 2 to IEC
%International Standard IEC 60027-2: Letter symbols to be used in electrical technology -
%Part 2: Telecommunications and electronics}. The full content of \textit{Amendment 2},
%which has a publication date of 1999-01, is reflected in the tables above and the
%suggestion regarding pronunciation.
%\changes{v0.99}{1999/07/28}{New binary prefixes support/documentation section added}
%\subsection{The \texttt{binary.sty} style for binary prefixes and (non-SI) units}
%   The \texttt{binary.sty} style for binary prefixes and (non-SI) units can be loaded by using the option \opt{binary}, as in |\usepackage[binary]{SIunits}|. This unit should always
%   be used in conjunction with the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package.
%   \section{Units outside the SI}
%   Units that are outside the SI may be divided into three categories:
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item those units that are accepted for use with the SI;
%   \item those units that are temporarily accepted for use with the SI; and
%   \item those units that are not accepted for use with the SI and thus must strictly be avoided.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   \subsection{Units accepted for use with the SI}
%   The CIPM (1969) recognised that users of SI will also wish to employ with it certain units not part of it, but
%   which are important and are widely used. These units are given in table~\ref{table:accepted1}. The combination of
%   units of this table with SI units to form compound units should be restricted to special cases in order not
%   to lose the advantage of the coherence of SI units.\\

%   Because of existing practice in certain fields or countries, in 1978 the CIPM considered that it was permissible
%   for the units given in table~\ref{table:temporarily} to continue to be used with the SI until the CIPM considers that
%   their use is no longer necessary. However, these units must not be introduced where they are not presently used.

%   \section{Last notes about correct usage of the SI}
%   The following points underline some of the important aspects about using SI units and their
%   symbols, and also mention some of the common errors that are made. The SI differs from some
%   of the older systems in that it has \textit{definite} rules governing the way the units and
%   symbols are used.
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item The unit of measure is the \textit{`metre'}, not \textit{`meter'}. The latter is a device used
%   for measuring things. (Unless you live in the USA - in which case you will just have to live
%   with the ambiguity.) \item Using a comma to separate groups of three digits is not
%   recommended - a (thin) space is preferable, since many countries use the comma as the decimal point
%   marker. Both the USA and UK use the `dot on the line' (full stop). So the following would be
%   correct: \nmfmt{1234555.678990}. \item The term \textbf{billion} should be avoided since in
%   most countries outside the USA (including the UK) it means a million-million (prefix tera),
%   whereas in the USA it means a thousand million (prefix giga). Likewise the term \textbf{trillion}
%   means million-million-million (prefix exa) in most countries outside the USA.
%   \item The `litre' (`liter' in the US) is one of those units which is approved by the CGPM for
%   use with the metric system. The official unit of volume in the SI is the cubic metre.
%   However, since this is not convenient for much day-to-day use the CGPM has approved the use
%   of the `other unit', the litre. The litre represents a cubic decimetre and you may use
%   either the symbol `\litre' or `\liter'\footnote{Recommended symbol for the `liter' in the USA} (small
%   or capital `ell') to represent it. They do not approve using any prefixes other than milli
%   or micro with it. It was originally defined as the volume occupied by \unit{1}{\kilogram}\ of water.
%   Subsequently it was found that this was not precisely 1 cubic decimetre, so the term litre
%   was withdrawn. Later it was re-introduced officially as 1 cubic decimetre exactly. So,
%   \unit{1}{\litre} = \unit{1}{\cubic{\deci\metre}} = \unit{1}{\liter}.
%   \end{itemize}

%    \section{How to use the package}
%
%    \subsection{Loading}
%    Most features are controlled by package options that can be selected
%    when the package is loaded (e.\,g |\usepackage|\oarg{options}|{SIunits}|) or at
%    `runtime' as an optional argument(list) to the |\SIunits| command
%    (e.\,g. \cmd{\SIunits}\oarg{options}).

%    \subsection{The package options}\label{sec:options}
%    \changes{v0.02 Beta  2}{1998/09/10}{Code documentation corrections}
%    The options can be grouped in the following categories:
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item unit spacing;
%    \item quantity-unit spacing;
%    \item conflicts;
%    \item textstyle;
%    \item miscellaneous.
%    \end{enumerate}
%    \subsubsection{Unit spacing options}
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{12mm}}
%    \item[\opt{cdot}]
%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\cdot} as spacing in units.
%    \item[\opt{thickspace}]
%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\;} (thick math space) as spacing in units.
%    \item[\opt{mediumspace}]
%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\:} (medium math space) as spacing in units.
%    \item[\opt{thinspace}]
%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\,} (thin math space) as spacing in units.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \subsubsection{Quantity-unit spacing options}
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{12mm}}
%    \item[\opt{thickqspace}]
%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\;} (thick math space) as spacing between numerical quantities and units.
%    \item[\opt{mediumqspace}]

%    This mode provides the use of \cmd{\,} (thin math space) as spacing between numerical quantities and units.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \subsubsection{Options to prevent conflicts}
%    \subsubsection*{Conflicts with the \texttt{amssymb} package}
%    In the |amssymb| package the command |\square| is defined. This will cause error messages
%    when the |amssymb| package is used in combination with the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package. To prevent
%    errors one can choose two different options:
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{15mm}}
%    \item[\opt{amssymb}]This option redefines the \texttt{amssymb} command |\square| to get the desired
%    \pkgname{SIunits}\ definition of the command.\\ \textbf{Note: }When using this option, the \texttt{amssymb} command
%    |\square| can \textbf{not} be used.
%    \item[\opt{squaren}]This option defines a new command |\squaren| that can be used instead of the
%    \pkgname{SIunits}\ command |\square|.\\ \textbf{Note: }When using this option, the \texttt{amssymb} definition for
%    |\square| is used.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \changes{v0.06 Beta  2}{1998/04/07}{amssymb conflicts section added to documentation}
%    \subsubsection*{Conflicts with the \texttt{pstricks} package}
%    In the |pstricks| package the command |\gray| is defined. This will cause error messages
%    when the |pstricks| package is used in combination with the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package. To prevent
%    errors one can choose two different options:

%    |\gray| is used.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \subsubsection*{Conflicts with the \texttt{babel} package in combination with the \opt{italian} language}
%    In the |babel| package, when using the italian language, the command |\unit| is defined. This will prevent \pkgname{SIunits}\ from functioning.
%    To prevent this, choose the option:
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{15mm}}
%    \item[\opt{italian}]This option defines a new command |\unita| (italian for unit) that can be used instead of the
%    \pkgname{SIunits}\ command |\unit|.\\ \textbf{Note: }When using this option, the \texttt{babel} definition for
%    |\unit| is used.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \subsubsection{textstyle}
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{12mm}}
%    \item[\opt{textstyle}]
%    When using the option \opt{textstyle} units are printed in the typeface of the
%    enclosing text, automatically.
%    \end{labeling}
%    \subsubsection{miscellaneous}
%    \begin{labeling}{\hspace{12mm}}
%    \item[\opt{binary}]
%    This option loads the file \texttt{binary.sty}, which defines prefixes for binary multiples.
%    \item[\opt{noams}]
%    This option redefines the \cmd{\micro} command; use it when you don't have the AMS font, eurm10.
%    \item[\opt{derivedinbase}]
%    This mode provides the ready-to-use expressions of SI derived units in SI base units,
%    e.\,g. \verb=\pascalbase= to get `\pascalbase'.

%    \subsection{How to compose units in your text.}
%    The purpose of the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package is: to give an author an intuitive system for writing
%    units.
%    Just type (in \LaTeX-kind commands) what you would say: |\kilogram| or |\kelvin| to get
%    `\kilogram' or `\kelvin'.
%
%
%    To use the prefixes with SI units simply place them before the unit, e.\,g. |\milli\ampere|,
%    |\deca\metre| (or |\deka\meter|) or |\mega\ohm| to get: `\milli\ampere', `\deca\metre' or `\mega\ohm'.
%    Decimal values of the prefixes can be made by adding |d| behind the prefix command. See command reference on page~\pageref{commandreference}.

%   \subsubsection{Division or multiplication of SI units}
%   The next step is the formation of units based on division and/or multiplication of SI units.
%   \paragraph{Division}
%   How to get the unit of speed?
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Write down the unit in words: |metre per second|
%   \item Replace the spaces with backlashes to get the command: |\metre\per\second|
%   \item The result is: `\metre\per\second'.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   Simple! Ready!
%   \paragraph{Multiplication}
%    Now an example of multiplication of units, the unit of torque (newton metre):
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Write down the unit in words: |newton metre|
%   \item To get an separation character between the two units use the command \cmd{\usk} (unitskip): |\newton\usk\metre|
%   \item The result is: `\joenit{\newton.\metre}'. The spacing between the units depends on the spacing
%   options (see: page \pageref{sec:options}).
%   \end{enumerate}
%   \paragraph{Mixed case}
%   The mixed case should be simple now; the unit of thermal conductivity (watt per metre kelvin):
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Use your just-learned-knowledge:|\watt\per\metre\usk\kelvin|
%   \item The result is: `\wattpermetrekelvin'.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   Now, you can do it all in one step! Intuitive \& simple.
%
%   \subsubsection{Raising SI units to a power}
%   The \pkgname{SIunits}\ package provides a set of functions to get units raised to a particular power.
%   \paragraph{Squaring and cubing}
%   How to get the units of area (square metre) and volume (cubic metre)?
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Write down the unit in words: |square metre| and |cubic metre|
%   \item Replace the spaces with backlashes to get the commands: |\square\metre| and |\cubic\metre|
%   \item The result is: ` \square\metre' and `\cubic\metre'.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   I can hear you say: ``We only use the word `square' before the unit metre, normally we place
%   the word `squared' behind the unit name.''. OK, lets try: |\second\squared| and
%   |\second\cubed| gives: `\second\squared' and `\second\cubed'.
%   Thus, no problem.
%   \paragraph{The reciprocal, reciprocal squaring and - cubing}
%   How to get negative powers?
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Use |\rpsquare| or |\rpsquared|, and |\rpcubic| and |\rpcubed|
%   \item \Fe |\rpsquare\metre| and |\second\rpcubed|
%   \item The result is: ` \rpsquare\metre' and `\second\rpcubed'.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   Normally, we leave out the exponent \(1\), but sometimes we want to use the exponent \(-1\).
%   How to form the unit of frequency (reciprocal second = \hertz)
%   \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Write down the unit in words: |reciprocal second|,
%   \item Replace the spaces with backlashes to get the commands: |\reciprocal\second|,
%   \item The result is: `\reciprocal\second'.
%   \end{enumerate}
%   \paragraph{The power function}
%   The \cmd{\power} macro has been added to be able to form the wildest types of power raising:
%   |\power{10}{35}| gives: \power{10}{35}.
%
%    \subsection{Quantities and units}
%    Use the command \cmd{\unit} to get consistent spacing between numerical quantities and units. Usage:\\
%    |\unit{120}{\kilo\meter\per\hour}| gives: \unit{120}{\kilo\meter\per\hour}.

%    \section{How the package works}
%    \subsection{Compatibility}
%    The package has been tested using:
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item MiK\TeX\ 1.10\textit{b}, including \LaTeXe\ standard classes (\LaTeXe{} [1997/12/01] patch level 1)
%    and \TeX\ 3.14159, both under Microsoft Windows 95 and MS Windows NT 4.0.
%    \item MiK\TeX\ 1.11, including \LaTeXe\ standard classes (\LaTeXe{} [1998/06/01])
%    and \TeX\ 3.14159, both under Microsoft Windows 95 and MS Windows NT 4.0.
%    \item MiK\TeX\ 2 UP 1, including \LaTeXe\ standard classes (\LaTeXe{} [2000/11/28])
%    and \TeX\ 3.14159, under Microsoft Windows 2000 professional.
%    \end{enumerate}
%    \subsection{Known problems and limitations}
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item When you don't have the AMS font |eurm10| use the option \opt{noams}.
%    \item The amssymb package defines the |\square| command. Two possible solutions to avoid
%    conflicts:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item Use option \opt{amssymb}: |\usepackage[amssymb]{SIunits}|.
%    When using this option the amssymb command |\square| is redefined to the SIunits command.
%    \item Use option \opt{squaren}: |\usepackage[squaren]{SIunits}|.
%    When using this option the amssymb command |\square| is not redefined. Use the newly defined SIunits command
%    |\squaren| instead of |\square| to get the desired behaviour.
%    \end{itemize}
%    \textbf{Note: }Load \pkgname{SIunits}\ package after \texttt{amssymb} package.
%    \item The pstricks package defines the |\gray| command. Two possible solutions to avoid
%    conflicts:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item Use option \opt{pstricks}: |\usepackage[pstricks]{SIunits}|.
%    When using this option the pstricks command |\gray| is redefined to the SIunits command.
%    \item Use option \opt{Gray}: |\usepackage[Gray]{SIunits}|.
%    When using this option the pstricks command |\gray| is not redefined. Use the newly defined SIunits command
%    |\Gray| instead of |\gray| to get the desired behaviour.
%    \end{itemize}
%    \textbf{Note: }Load \pkgname{SIunits}\ package after \texttt{pstricks} package.
%    \end{enumerate}
%    No further known problems or limitations. That doesn't mean this package is bug free, but it
%    indicates the lack of testing that's been done on the package.
%
%    \subsection{Sending a bug report}
%    Reports of new bugs in the package are most welcome.
%    However, I do \textbf{not} consider this to be a `supported'
%    package. This means that there is no guarantee I (or
%    anyone else) will put any effort into fixing the bug (of course I will try to find some time).
%    But, on the other hand, someone may try debugging, so filing a
%    bug report is always a good thing to do! (If nothing else,
%    your discoveries may end up in future releases of this
%    document.) Before filing a bug report, please take the
%    following actions:
%    \begin{enumerate}
%    \item Ensure your problem is not due to your input file;
%    \item Ensure your problem is not due to your own
%    package(s) or class(es);
%    \item Ensure your problem is not covered in the section ``Known
%    problems and limitations'' above;
%    \item Try to locate the problem by writing a minimal
%    \LaTeXe\ input file which reproduces the problem. Include the command\\
%    |\setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999}|\\ in your input;
%    \item Run your file through \LaTeXe;
%    \item Send a description of your problem, the input file and the
%    log file via e-mail to: \texttt{SIunits@webschool.nl}.
%    \end{enumerate}

%    \changes{v0.03 Beta  2}{1998/10/30}{\cs{qsk} command added}
%    In version \fileversion\ of the \pkgname{SIunits}\ package, one has to do the spacing of units by hand. I have plans to get
%    some things automated in a future version. The |\per| macro gives |/| to be used in a quotient of two units; |\usk|
%    (\textbf{u}nit\textbf{sk}ip) makes a thick math space by default, but can be changed by the spacing options
%    (page \pageref{sec:options}) or the |\unitskip| command. Usage:\\ |\metre\per\second| (unit of speed) gives:
%    \(\mathrm{m/s}\) \\ |\newton\usk\metre| (unit of torque) gives: \(\joenit{\mathrm{N}.\mathrm{m}}\).\\
%    |\@qsk| (\textbf{q}uantity \textbf{sk}ip) makes a thick math space
%    by default, but can be changed by the options for spacing between quantity and unit
%    (page \pageref{sec:options}) or the |\quantityskip| command. |\@qsk| is used in the |\unit| macro.
