physics-patch – Improved version of the physics package
This package requires the amsmath, etoolbox, xcolor, xparse, and xstring packages.
Commands that have different definitions come with PT in the beginning of their name (e.g. \PTmqty).
physics-patch has covered all commands in physics since version 2.0, so there’s no need to load physics.
It is ok to load physics before this package. This package will silently override macros in physics with an improved version. To use the original version provided by physics, load physics before this package and use the nooverride option (not recommended).
This package pretends that the physics package is loaded so that this package won’t be overriden if loading physics is called afterwards and packages loaded afterwards that check whether physics is loaded to determine their behavior (e.g. siunitx) work correctly. To disable this, use the nopretend option (not recommended).
If siunitx is loaded before this package, this package will define \ITquantity and \ITqty as the integration of the improved definition of physics’s \qty (in \PHquantity and \PHqty) and siuitx’s \SI. You can optionally set the siintegrate option to override \PTquantity and \PTqty with \ITqty (not recommended).
If two opposite options — one of them with the name of the other prefixed with a no — are loaded at the same time, the one without the no in the name will be used. If two opposite options which have the same suffix and different prefixes are loaded at the same time, the default one will be used.
