% \section{Introduction}
%
% This package defines commands to access bold math
% symbols. The basic command is |\bm| which may be used to make the
% math expression in its argument be typeset using bold fonts.
%
% The syntax of |\bm| is:\\
% |\bm|\marg{math expression}\\
% So |$\alpha \not= \bm{\alpha}$| produces $\alpha \not= \bm{\alpha}$.
%
% |\bm| goes to some trouble to preserve the spacing, so that for
% instance |\bm<| is a bold $\bm<$ but with the correct |\mathrel|
% spacing that \TeX\ gives to $<$. The calculations that \TeX\ needs to
% do for |\bm| can be quite involved and so a definition form is
% provided.
%
% |\DeclareBoldMathCommand|%^^A
%       \oarg{math version}\marg{cmd}\marg{math expression}
%
% Defines |\cmd| to be the bold form of the math expression.
% The \meta{math version} defaults to `bold' (i.e., |\boldmath|).
%
% For relatively simple expressions, the resulting definitions are very
% efficient, for instance after:\\
% |\DeclareBoldMathCommand\balpha{\alpha}|\\
% |\balpha| is a single `mathchardef' token producing a bold alpha,
% and so is just as fast to execute as |\alpha|.
%
% The above command is mainly intended for use in packages.
% For occasional use in \LaTeX\ documents, and for compatibility
% with the plain \TeX\ support for the mathtime fonts, a `user-level'
% version, |\bmdefine| is provided that is equivalent to:\\
% |\DeclareBoldMathCommand[bold]|.
%
% If there is a `heavy' math version defined (usually accessed by a
% user-command |\heavymath|) then a similar command |\hm|
% is defined which accesses these `ultra bold' fonts. Currently this is
% probably only useful with the `mathtime plus' font collection.
% Definitions of commands that use these fonts may be made by
% specifying the optional argument `heavy' to |\DeclareBoldMathCommand|.
% Again an abbreviation, |\hmdefine|, is provided, equivalent to:\\
% |\DeclareBoldMathCommand[heavy]|.
%
% The command names (but not the implementation) are taken from Michael
% Spivak's macros to support the mathtime fonts for plain \TeX. In those
% original macros, the syntax for |\bmdefine| was
% |\bmdefine\balpha{\bm\alpha}| (with a nested |\bm|). This syntax also
% works with this package.
%
% \section{Font allocation}
% In order to access bold fonts in the simplest and quickest possible
% manner, the package normally allocates symbol fonts for bold
% (and possibly heavy) fonts into the `normal' math version.
% By default it allocates at most four fonts for |\bm| and at most
% three fonts for |\hm|. This means that if the mathtime plus font set
% is being used, seven additional symbol fonts will be used, in addition
% to the basic four that \LaTeX\ already declares. The mathtime
% package also declares an extra symbol font, bringing the total to
% twelve. The maximum number of symbol \emph{and} math alphabet fonts
% that can be used in a math version is sixteen. So the above allocation
% scheme does not leave room for many extra math symbols (such as the
% AMS symbols) or math alphabets (such as |\mathit|).
%
% Before loading the \textsf{bm} package you may define |\bmmax|
% and |\hmmax| to be suitable values, for instance you may want
% to set |\newcommand\hmmax{0}| if you will not be using |\hm|
% much, but you do have a heavy math version defined.
%
% Even if |\bmmax| is set to zero, |\bm| will still access the correct
% bold fonts (by accessing the fonts via |\boldmath|) but this method
% is slower, and does not work with delimiters. Delimiters can only be
% made bold if the bold font has been allocated.
%
% Conversely if you have a non standard font set that makes available
% extra math delimiters and accents in bold and medium weights you may
% want to \emph{increase} |\bmmax| so that fonts are allocated for
% your font set.
%
% \section{Features}
% In most cases this package should work in a fairly self-explanatory
% way, but there are some things that might not be obvious.
%
% \subsection{Interaction with Math Alphabet Commands}
%
% As mentioned above, |\bm| goes to some trouble to try to make a
% command that is just like its argument, but using a bold font.
% This does not always produce the effect that you might expect.
%\begin{verbatim}
% $1 g \bm{g}$
% $2 \mathrm{g \bm{g}}$
% $3 {g} \bm{{g}}$
% $4 \mathrm{{g} \bm{{g}}}$
% $5 \mathrm{g} \bm{\mathrm{g}}$
%\end{verbatim}
% produces the following:
% \begin{flushleft}
% $1 g \bm{g}$
% $2 \mathrm{g \bm{g}}$
% $3 {g} \bm{{g}}$
% $4 \mathrm{{g} \bm{{g}}}$
% $5 \mathrm{g} \bm{\mathrm{g}}$
% \end{flushleft}
% In math mode `g' is effectively a command that produces the letter `g'
% from the `letters' alphabet, unless a Math Alphabet command is in
% effect, in which case the `g' comes from the specified alphabet.
% |\bm{g}| makes an equivalent command, but which defaults to a bold
% letter alphabet. So in the first example |\bm{g}| is bold math italic,
% but in the second example the |\mathrm| applies to both |g| and
% |\bm{g}| in the same way, and so they are both roman.
%
% |\bm| only inspects the `top level' definition of a command, for more
% complicated expressions, and anything inside a |{ }| group, |\bm|
% forces bold fonts by essentially the same (slow) technique used by the
% AMS |\boldsymbol| command (but |\bm| still takes more care of the
% spacing). So the third example produces identical output to the first
% (but \TeX\ takes more time producing it).
%
% In the fourth example the |\mathrm{\bm{{g}}}| is essentially
% equivalent to |\mathrm{\mbox{\boldmath$g$}}|. Currently math alphabet
% settings are not passed down to `nested' math lists, and so in this
% example, the |\mathrm| has no effect, and a bold math italic $\bm g$
% is obtained.
%
% Similarly the last example is equivalent to
% |$\mbox{\boldmath$\mathrm{g}$}$| and so in this case, one obtains a
% bold roman \textbf{g}.
%
% \subsection{Delimiters}
% \TeX\ can treat character tokens in two\footnote
%  {Well more than two really.}
% ways. If there is a preceding
% |\left| or |\right| it can treat them as a delimiter, otherwise it can
% treat them as a standard character. For example |\left<\right>|
% produces $\left<\right>$, which is totally different from |<>|, which
% produces $<>$.
%
% \TeX\ can only do this for character tokens. Commands such as
% |\langle| do not act in this way. This means that |\bm| has to decide
% whether to treat a character as a delimiter or not. The rule it uses
% is, it makes a delimiter command for a character if the previous
% token in the argument was |\left| or |\right|. So |\left\bm{<}| does
% not work, but |\bm{\left<}| does.
%
% \subsection{Command Arguments}
%
% Normally if a command takes arguments the full command, including
% any arguments, should be included in |\bm|.
%
% So |\bm{\overbrace{abc}}| (producing \smash{$\bm{\overbrace{abc}}$}),
% not
% |\bm{\overbrace}{abc}|. If you do not include all the arguments you
% will typically get the error message:\\
% |Runaway argument?|\\
% |! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning use of|
%                                                      \texttt{\ldots}
%
% However commands defined in terms of the \TeX\ accent and
% radical primitives \emph{may} be used without their arguments.
% So |\bm{\hat}{a}| produces $\bm{\hat}{a}$, a bold accent over a
% non-bold $a$ (compare $\hat{a}$)
%  whereas |\bm{\hat{a}}| makes both the $a$ and the accent bold,
% $\bm{\hat{a}}$.
% Similarly, although the \LaTeX\ command |\sqrt| must be used with its
% arguments, |\sqrtsign| may be used as in |\bm\sqrtsign{abc}| to
% produce $\bm\sqrtsign{abc}$ rather than  $\sqrtsign{abc}$ or
%  $\bm{\sqrtsign{abc}}$
%
% If you really need to make a command with arguments use bold fonts
% without making all of the arguments bold, you can explicitly
% reset the math version in the argument, eg:\\
% $\begin{array}{ccc}
% |\sqrt{xyz}|&|\bm{\sqrt{xyz}}|&|\bm{\sqrt{\mbox{\unboldmath$xyz$}}}|\\
% \sqrt{xyz}& \bm{\sqrt{xyz}}&  \bm{\sqrt{\mbox{\unboldmath$xyz$}}}
% \end{array}$
%
% \subsection{Bold fonts}
% This package interrogates the font allocations of the bold and heavy
% math versions, to determine which bold fonts are available.
% This means that it is best to load the package \emph{after}
% any packages that define new symbol fonts, or (like the
% \textsf{mathtime} package) completely change the symbol font
% allocations.
%
% If no bold font appears to be available for a particular symbol,
% |\bm| will use `poor man's bold', which will overprint the same
% character in slightly offset
% positions to give an appearance of boldness.
%
% In the standard Computer Modern font set, there is no bold
% `large symbols' font. In the `mathptm' and (standard) mathtime
% font sets there are no bold math fonts. In the `mathtime plus'
% font set there are suitable fonts for bold and heavy math setting,
% and so |\bm| and |\hm| work well. Similarly in the basic Lucida
% New Math font set there are no bold math fonts, so |\bm| will
% use `poor man's bold'. However, if the Lucida Expert set is used,
% then |\bm| will detect, and use, the bold math fonts that are
% available.
%
% As discussed above, one may set |\bmmax| higher or lower than its
% default value of four to control the font allocation system. Finer
% control may be gained by explicitly declaring bold symbol fonts.
% Suppose you have a symbol font `xyz' that is available in medium and
% bold weights, then you would declare this to \LaTeX\ via:\\
% |\DeclareSymbolFont{extras}  {OMS}{xyz}{m}{n}|\\
% |\SetSymbolFont{extras}{bold}{OMS}{xyz}{bx}{n}|\\
% At this point the symbols will be available in the normal math
% version, and their bold variants in |\boldmath|. If you also
% declare:\\
% |\DeclareSymbolFont{boldextras}{OMS}{xyz}{bx}{n}|\\
% That is, declare a symbol font whose name is formed by prefixing
% `bold' (or `heavy') to an existing symbol font, then |\bm| (or
% |\hm|) will use this font directly, rather then accessing the
% `extras' symbol font via |\boldmath|.
%
% \subsection{Strange failures}
% In order to get the correct spacing, |\bm| has to `investigate' the
% definition of the commands in its argument. It is possible that
% some strange constructions could `confuse' this investigation.
% If this happens then \LaTeX\ will almost certainly stop with a strange
% error. This should not happen with any of the math symbols
% defined in the base \LaTeX\ or AMS distributions, or any commands
% defined in terms of those symbols using normal \LaTeX\ math
% constructs. However if some command does fail to work inside |\bm|
% you should always be able to surround it with an extra set of braces
% |\bm{{\cmd}}| rather than |\bm{\cmd}|. |\bm| will not then attempt
% to set the correct spacing, so you may need to set it explicitly,
% for instance, for a relation, |\bm{\mathrel{\cmd}}|.
%
% \subsection{AMS package \textsf{amsbsy}}
% The |\bm| command shares some functionality with the |\boldsymbol|
% command from the AMS \LaTeX\ collection. To aid in moving documents
% between these two packages, this package defines |\boldsymbol| and
% |\heavysymbol| as alternative names for |\bm| and |\hm|.
%
% \section{Package Options}
%
% \subsection{Logging level}
% As described above, the \textsf{bm} package has to interrogate the font
% setup to try to find matching bold fonts for each font used in the |normal|
% math version. This can fail in various ways as there may be no bold font
% or a bold font may be found but no room is available to allocate it.
% The options |warn|, |info| and |silent| control whether messages that \textsf{bm}
% produces are sent to the terminal, or just to the log file (the default) or suppressed.
%
% \subsection{Poor Man's Bold}
% As discussed above, by default, if no real bold font is available, \textsf{bm} will use
% ``poor man's bold''. That is, over-printing the character with slight offsets.
% Since version 1.2e, the package now warns if a font is set up to use this over-printing and
% the package option |nopbm|  is available which prevents its use in which case |\bm| will
% use the non-bold for characters from the affected font.

% \begin{macro}{\bm@boldtable}
% \begin{macro}{\bm@heavytable}
% The table, |\bm@table|, (which is locally |\let| to either the bold
% or heavy version) defines, for each \meta{math group} (\meta{fam}),
% the `offset' to the bold version of the specified symbol font.
% If there is no bold symbol font defined, the offset will be
% set to zero if there is a bold font assigned to this slot in the
% bold math version, or $-1$ if the font in the bold math version
% is the same as the one in the normal math version. In this case
% a `poor man's bold' system of overprinting is used to achieve
% boldness where this is possible.
%
% The settings are made at the time this package is read, and so
% it is best to load this package late, after any font loading packages
% have been loaded. Symbol fonts loaded after this package will get the
% offset of zero, so they will still be made bold by |\bm| as long as an
% appropriate font is declared for the bold math version.
%
% |\bm@boldtable| and |\bm@heavytable| are set up using very similar
% code, which is temporarily defined to |\bm|, to save wasting a csname.
% Similarly |\bm@pmb|\ldots\ (which will be defined later) are used
% as scratch macros.
% (This csname saving no longer used, setup command is |\bm@setup|, not |\bm|.)
%
% The general plan. Run through the fonts allocated to the normal math
% version. Ignore \meta{math alphabet} allocations\footnote{For now?}
% but for each math symbol font, look in the math version specified by
% |#1| (bold or heavy). If the font there is different, then allocate
% a new symbol font in the normal math version to access that bold font
% and place the numerical difference between the allocations of the bold
% and normal font into the table being built (|\bm@boldtable|, if |#1|
% is bold). If the symbol allocation is already greater than |\bmmax|
% do not allocate a new symbol font, but rather set the offset in the
% table to zero. |\bm| will detect this, and use |\boldmath| on its
% argument in this case, so the bold font will be accessed but more
% slowly than using a direct access to a bold font allocated into the
% normal math version. If the font allocated in the bold math version is
% the same as the font in the normal math version, set the offset to
% $-1$, which is a flag value that causes |\bm| to use `poor man's bold'
% overprinting three copies of the symbol, offset slightly to give an
% appearance of boldness.
%
% Fonts containing delimiters and math accents \emph{must} be allocated
% into the normal math version if they are to be used with |\bm|. (In
% these cases |\bm| will produce the normal weight symbol, rather than
% using |\boldmath| or poor man's bold.)

%    \end{macrocode}
% The next four lines were added in v1.0e. Without them |\bm{\hat{A}}|
% makes the accent bold using |\bm| but the group |{A}| is made bold
% via a |\mathchoice| construction as for any other group, as |\bm|
% does not attempt to parse inside brace groups. While that produces
% something acceptable for lower case letters, it produces
% $\bm{\hat{{A}}}$ which is not too good. The braces may simply be
% omitted:
% |\bm{\hat A}| would work, producing $\bm{\hat A}$, however I did not
% want to document such a restriction, so now modify bm so that such
% brace groups are handled gracefully.
%
% It would be possible to locally make mathaccents take an argument
% during the bm look-ahead, so the brace groups would then vanish
% during expansion, however I would then need to explicitly skip past
% \meta{filler} and also make sure that the end of parse token
% was not gobbled in marginal cases like |$\bm\hat$|.
%
% So instead do the following which gets rid of \meta{filler}
% with a redefinition of |\relax|, and just locally changes
% |\bm@group| so that instead of doing a |\mathchoice| it simply adds
% |\bgroup| and |\egroup| around the tokens, and lets bm modify the
% tokens of the `argument'. This means that |\bm{\hat{A}}| now produces
%\begin{verbatim}
% \mathaccent 29790 \bgroup \mathchar 30017 \egroup
%\end{verbatim}
% The inner math list is a single mathchar, and so \TeX\ will not box
% it, and the math accent will correctly position, taking into account
% the skewchar information.
%
% As the normal bm lookahead is used, it is automatic that the parse
% will end without trying to go past |\bm@end|.
%
% One disadvantage is that the group will mean that |\bm@previous|
% will not be correctly updated. However that is only used for
% delimiter checking, so can not matter here.
