The community of people using another Tk application (guiguts) has been unable to get ActiveState 5.12 Perl to install Tk, but we have had better luck with Strawberry Perl. Which perl are you using and if it is ActiveState what is the trick to install Tk? I noticed that TexLive includes a Perl 5.12 with Tk.

Line breaking in these cases was improved in v2.1c. Could you post or e-mail a minimal example?

I could not figure out how to solve this. units=single helps in some cases, though. Best regards, Thomas Dear Joseph,

So choosing some options for the start of the manual is not so easy. In your case, you want <pre> \SI[separate-uncertainty]{10.0(3)}{\newton\per\square\metre} </pre> it seems. (I should add that the manual doesn't cover any 'internals'!) The problem for me is that everyone has a different set of requirements.

An end user (like me) doesn't really care how the inner working work, we just want to see what we want in our document. Unfortunately, the manual is somewhat too fancy to be read for end-user. For example, I just want to see (in math notation) 10 \pm 0.3 Nm^{-2} typeset beautifully using siunitx. And now, I have to go through the documentation quite deep (and actually I haven't yet to figure out how >.<). The siunitx section: for the impatient is not yet sufficient. Well, just a suggestion from a latex noob. (: It will be very useful if there is a document which explain how to use siunitx by case-basis.

I tend to use <a href="http://www.texample.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.texample.net </a> to keep up with TeX blogs: I think that <a href="http://texblog.net/" rel="nofollow">http://texblog.net/</a> is listed there. A bit of a warning: I'll probably have more development stuff than user info, I suspect, as I write a few reasonably complex packages. LaTeX3 is also still a long way from being ready for users.

I am sorry that my blog is in German only. I have compiled a small blogroll there. Though most bloggers I've come across via Google write in German or French and most of them only have a category for (La)TeX, you might like to know that there is at least one more blog that focuses only on TeX in English by Stefan Kottwitz at http://texblog.net/.
