unitsdef Patrick Happel (patrick.happel@rub.de) ============================================================ 1. Abstract -------------------------- There are a lot of packages for typesetting units in LaTeX2e. Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed available but do not predefine any unit. This package tries to comply with both requirements. It predefines common units, defines an easy to use interface to define new units and changes the output concerning to the surrounding font settings. 2. Contents of the package -------------------------- unitsdef.dtx unitsdef.ins README.1st (this file) defedunits.tex defedpraef.tex unitsdef.pdf ampabbrv.cfg freqabbr.cfg molabbrv.cfg volabbrv.cfg weigabbr.cfg enerabbr.cfg lengabbr.cfg timeabbr.cfg voltabbr.cfg 3. Installation -------------------------- - Run unitsdef.ins through latex to produce the packages style file. - If you want to produce the documentation by yourself: Run unitsdef.dtx through latex twice, run makeindex -s gglo.ist -o unitsdef.gls unitsdef.glo to produce the list of changes and makeindex -s gind.ist unitsdef and run unitsdef.dtx through latex again. - If in your TDS already proper directories exist you should be able to skip the next two steps - Move the resulting .sty file to where latex finds it. On a TDS compliant system this should be (substitute $TEXMF with your texmf directory): $TEXMF/tex/latex/unitsdef/ - Move all files from the config directory to a place where latex finds them. $TEXMF/tex/latex/unitsdef/config/ - Move the documentation (unitsdef.pdf, if you haven't produced your own copy in a different format) to a place where latex will find it, usually, in a TDS compliant system: $TEXMF/doc/unitsdef - If you like to move the source files (.dtx, .ins and .tex) in a source directory of your system. - Update your filename database. How to do this depends on your distribution. 4. License -------------------------- This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License.
