Jean-François Burnol submitted the

texdimens

package.

Version: 0.9beta 2021-06-30
License: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Conversion of TeX dimensions to decimals

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Utilities and documentation related to TeX dimensional units,
usable both with Plain (\input texdimens) and with LaTeX
(\usepackage{texdimens}).

This is a beta release which provides the following macros:

- \texdiminbp{<dim. expr.>}: produces a decimal D such that the
TeX dimension Dbp either matches exactly the input, if this is
possible, else is either the closest match from above or from
below (but one does not know which one). For the bp unit this
means Dbp differs by at most 1sp from input.

- Eight similar macros \texdimin<uu> where <uu> is one of nd,
dd, mm, pc, nc, cc, cm, or in.

- \texdiminpt{<dim. expr.>} is like LaTeX's \strip@pt

Please refer to README.md for detailed and important usage
information, and to the code comments for the underlying
mathematics.
