+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 they 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 siunitx 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.
+The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the l3kernel and
+l3packages bundles.
