+ (description
+ "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. The @code{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 @code{SIunits},
+@code{sistyle}, @code{unitsdef} and @code{units}. The aim is to have one
+package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users.")
