% The ISO regulations for typesetting math in the field of physics
% and technology are pretty stringent and imply legal questions
% that we do not treat here; it suffices to say that in certain
% countries an ``Expertise'' for a Legal Court that does not
% fulfil such regulations may be rejected by the Court,
% independently from its expert contents.
%
% Authors may not like them, but in the field of \emph{applied
% sciences}, or better, of \emph{experimental sciences}, that
% use measured quantities and units of measure, they are compulsory.
%
% With \LuaLaTeX\ and \XeLaTeX, while using OpenType math fonts
% there should not be any difficulty in fulfilling the regulations,
% but with \pdfLaTeX things are not so simple. There exist some
% facilities, but sometimes they do not work.
%
% This package provides some robust work-arounds to bypass the
% difficulties experienced by some \pdfLaTeX\ users.
% \end{abstract}
% \section{Introduction}
% The ISO regulations (formerly ISO\,31/XI, now ISO\,80000) are
% stringent rules to typeset mathematics in the domains of physics
% and experimental sciences; their title explicitly mentions “physics
% and physical sciencesâ€, but their careful reading lets us understand
% that they apply to all sciences that use the “mathematics of
% quantitiesâ€. Such entities form a special group or space,
% where the elements are couples of two ordered entities $(x, y)$,
% where $y$ represents the unit of measure and $x$ represents the
% ratio of the quantity to the unit of measure. Such paired
% entities may not be separated, therefore some special
% mathematical rules are established in order to operate on
% quantities.
%
% Add to these special mathematical bases the fact that the
% measure component of the quantity is pretty fuzzy and it
% is always accompanied by a certain degree of uncertainty;
% metrologists are the masters in measuring quantities
% and handling their measures and uncertainties, but although
% for simplicity laypeople handle measures as if hey were rational
% numbers (after all aren't they the ratio of something to be
% measured and the unit of measure?) we are facing the domain
% of fuzzy sets.
%
% Furthermore quantities are so many that any work in applied
% sciences should contain a nomenclature list in order to
% explain which symbol is used for which quantity. This is
% where the ISO regulations set some order and establish
% a long list of named quantities with their preferred symbols
% and their “normal†units according to the prescriptions
% of the Comité International des Poids et Mesures, that
% established the International System of measures
% (Système International, SI).
%
% This ISO nomenclature is used uniformly by most, if not all,
% people involved in applied sciences; therefore among the few
% letters of the Latin and Greek alphabets almost none is available
% to be used for other purposes.
%
% This means that the usual math italic alphabet can be used for
% very few symbols if confusion is to be avoided. Other series
% and shapes must be judiciously used and the ISO regulations
% say how.
%
% There are no problems when typesetting applied science
% documents with \LuaLaTeX\ or \XeLaTeX, at least if the
% proper OpenType math fonts are used; such fonts have
% available so many slots (code points) that may contain
% any variation of any glyph; it suffices to specify the
% option |math style = ISO| to the math handling package
% |unicode-math| and to select an OpenType math font. The
% only problem, if any, is to know which font series and
% shapes should be used according to the ISO regulations.
%
% These regulations can be purchased from the ISO site in
% Switzerland; they are quite expensive and the cost is
% affordable by associated professional studios and large
% academic and/or research institutions.
%
% For private users I'd suggest to download the PDF document
% \url{https://www.nist.gov/pml/special-publication-811-extended- contents}.
% This document has been produced by the National
% Institute for Science and Technology, the Institution that
% several years ago was appointed to replace the United States
% National Bureau of Standards. Their staff is made essentially
% by metrologists and this guide is written to give precise
% instructions for handling the applied science mathematics
% according to the ISO regulations; it establishes also several
% rules for writing text about mathematics and metrology. It
% is extremely valuable for anglophones, but, with the due
% differences concerning the mother languages, it is extremely
% useful also for people using languages different from English.
%
% \section{The \pdfLaTeX\ handicaps}
% Users of \pdfLaTeX, on the opposite are in trouble. In facts
% this typesetting program suffers from an inherited limitation:
% math fonts are encoded with the old 128 glyph encodings; this
% is not a limitation set forth by the underlying interpreter
% \pdfTeX. Matter of fact there exists the quite recent
% LibertinusT1math fonts for \pdfLaTeX, created by Michael Sharpe,
% that, to my best knowledge, are the only math 8-bit encoded fonts
% with 256 glyphs. Package |libertinust1math| accepts the |ISO| option
% that allows to fulfil the ISO regulations; it accepts other
% options; depending on which ones are specified, the number
% of math groups, beyond the essential first four ones, increases
% by three to six units, reaching a maximum of ten; there remains
% enough free math groups to satisfy most user requirements.
%
% But even while using such LibertinusT1math fonts, \pdfTeX\
% suffers from another handicap derived from the knuthian
% original \TeX-the-program and by the NFSS (New Font Selection
% Scheme, that dates back to 1994, when \LaTeXe\ started its life.).
% I am not complaining about these \pdfTeX\ and
% \LaTeX\ limitations; for decades people have been happily
% typesetting math with results that are much superior to any
% other typesetting program at least when the latter does not
% use some \TeX\ software.
%
% By now, the handicap I am talking about is the way math alphabets
% are handled by \pdfTeX\ and \LaTeX; such alphabets
% are loaded in the form of math groups, the number of which
% cannot exceed 16 (numbered from 0 to 15); each group loads
% three sizes: for normal math style, for script style and for
% script-script style. Taking into account the bold version, the
% number of math groups would risk to exceed its capabilities;
% in order to avoid exceeding the number limit on the math
% groups usable in any math environment, only the
% medium \emph{or} the bold series is loaded and the math version
% (bold or unbold) must be chosen before entering the math
% environment. Packages that allow mixed series math formulas
% load both versions and become very critical for using other
% math alphabets.
%
% By default four groups are always loaded; group~0 for
% operators; group~1 for letters; group~2 for symbols;
% group~3 for large operators and delimiters; users very
% often load also the two symbol-fonts provided by the
% American Mathematical Society, and this means two more
% math groups. Apparently there are ten more groups for
% other math groups. It seems that this number is abundantly
% sufficient to handle any situation, but it is not so. The
% author of this extension already reached the limit of~16
% without doing anything special -- at least he thought so,
% but evidently he was wrong. Users who use packages such
% as the Fourier or the KPfonts have to pay special attention
% to the package documentation because they might specify
% options that imply loading up to 14 math groups.
%
% Several authors provided packages to help users produce
% perfect documents that fulfil the ISO regulations; I would
% like to cite the excellent Package |ISOmath| by Günter Milde,
% entitled “Mathematical style for science and technologyâ€.
% It should be the perfect package to use in order to fulfil
% the ISO regulations; sometimes it succeeds with excellent
% results, but more often than not the results are just partial,
% because of the limitations of the math fonts available to
% \pdfLaTeX\ that are in contrast with the requirements of
% the ISO regulations.
%
% Therefore, dear reader, before using the poor man solutions
% of this package, try |ISOmath|, if your font set passes all
% the requirements described in that package documentation,
% you don't need the poor man patches offered by this package.
%
% \section{ISO rules summary}
% This summary does not replace the original ISO document nor
% what is written in the instructions published by NIST. It
% simply recalls those rules that this package tries to implement.
% In what follows the word \emph{quantity} is used to represent
% any physical entity that may be measured according to the
% metrological practice; the word \emph{variable} is used to
% represent a mathematical entity that may assume several values.
%\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
% \item
% All quantity and variable symbols are represented by one
% letter (with as many appositions are needed); but no acronyms
% are allowed; in computer science programming, many strings
% are called variables, in the sense that they may represent
% variable data; but computer programs are not mathematics,
% rather they are a special language that tells the computer
% what to do, even mathematics, but the language is not the
% one that represents math. Unfortunately some acronyms have
% gained strong popularity and wide usage, but they are
% forbidden by the ISO rules; example: \emph{CMRR} is often
% used to mean “common mode rejection ratioâ€, but this is
% an improper usage of mathematics. Obviously this rule
% must be applied by the user, because \LaTeX\ is a
% typesetting language and does not understand the real
% meaning of what it is being typeset.
% \item
% All quantity symbols must be set in italics; slanted roman type
% is allowed, but serifed italics should be preferred unless
% the ISO rules prescribe a sans serif font. This implies that
% the differential symbol be in upright font to avoid confusion
% with the physical quantity $d$; the Napier number ‘e’ must be
% set in upright font to avoid confusion with the elementary
% electric charge $e$; the imaginary unit j in electrical
% engineering, (i in other applied sciences) must be set in
% upright font in order to avoid confusion with the electric
% current density $j$ or the electric current $i$; more
% difficult: the transcendental number $\ISOpi=3.14159\dots$
% should be distinguished from the plane angle $\pi$; and similar
% other numerical constants represented by Latin or Greek letters.
% \item
% All symbols that do not represent quantities should be
% typeset in an upright font, preferably a serifed font,
% except when the ISO rules require a sans serif font.
% This rule includes numbers and their digits, symbols that
% represent constant numeric values, all appositions both
% in subscript and superscript position. Subscripts require
% special attention: for example in $V_i$, the
% subscript $i$ is a variable because it represents the $i$-th
% element in a sequence, such as $V_0, V_1, V_2, \dots$; on
% the opposite $V_{\mathrm{i}}$ the subscript is an apposition
% because ‘i’ may mean, say, ‘input’.
% \item
% Upright bold roman or black board bold symbols represent sets.
% \item
% Italic bold symbols represent matrices; one column matrices
% may represent vectors in an algebraic way and should be
% treated as any other matrix; in general multirow and multicolumn
% matrices are typeset with uppercase letters, while lowercase
% ones are reserved for vectors; but in some sciences also vectors
% may be represented by uppercase letters. Geometrical vectors that
% might be typeset with a medium series upper or lowercase italic
% letter with an arrow on top of it, are not treated by the ISO
% regulations that speak of vectors irrespective if they are
% considered as one column matrices or oriented segments;
% apparently oriented segments should be treated the same as
% one column matrices.
% \item
% Labels to geometrical entities, such as points, segments,
% angles (not their measures) should be set in upright
% medium series sans serif fonts; the same rule applies
% to labels used in sketches and drawings representing
% machinery, electric circuitry, and the like when the label
% refers to an object and not to its measure: “the lens
% $\mathsf{L}_1$, “the switch $\mathsf{S}_2$â€, “the
% planetary gear $\mathsf{G}_3$â€, and so on.
% \item
% Tensors should be set in slanted bold sans serif font.
% \item
% The above rules apply to both Latin and Greek
% letters.\label{enum:latin-greek}
%\end{enumerate}
%
% Such font rules for families, series and shapes are difficult
% to implement with \pdfLaTeX\ for many reasons that do not imply
% only the limited number of math groups, but also the categories
% of symbols; Greek letters in particular are troublesome for a
% couple of reasons connected with rule~\ref{enum:latin-greek}:
%\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
%\item
% Uppercase greek letters are taken from the “operatorsâ€
% alphabet and are letter symbols; they are upright;
% but if they represent quantities they must be in italics,
% or at least slanted;
%\item
% Lowercase Greek letters are taken from the “letters†math alphabet
% and are ordinary symbols; they are oblique, and this is fine,
% but as ordinary math symbols they cannot be modified by commands
% such as |\mathrm|; furthermore upright lowercase Greek letters
% are not available, at least not directly.
%\end{itemize}
%
% \section{Some existing solutions}
% Several packages to be used with \pdfLaTeX\ allow for upright
% Greek letters, especially those packages for French typography,
% where the national rules (in contrast with the ISO regulations)
% require that all math entities typeset with Greek letters be
% upright. Among such packages there are |fourier| and |kpfonts|.
% Other packages such as |newpxmath| and |newtxmath| are intended
% for general use, but with suitable options and extra math groups
% let the user employ upright lowercase Greek letters as well as
% oblique uppercase ones.
%
% Package |libertinust1math| allows the use of the 256~glyph
% encoded fonts and are less sensitive to the limit of 16~math
% groups. Its many options allow to use the various font styles
% without requiring the |\boldmath| declaration; this implies
% that medium and bold series are both preloaded without
% actually using extra math alphabets beyond the small number
% it uses for its full functionality. An option |ISO| is
% already available to fulfil the ISO regulations. Maybe
% the only drawback of such fonts is that they are intended to
% match the Libertinus text fonts that are blacker than the
% standard Computer or Latin Modern ones. The auxiliary font
% selection commands used in the |ISOmath| package are already
% implemented with this |libertinust1math| one.
%
% Of course the |ISOmath| package might solve all problems if the
% user math environment has the necessary functionalities, in
% particular all the math alphabets needed for the task and if
% there are no difficulties with the number of math groups.
%
% \section{The poor man solution}
% The poor man solution described in this document is very simple in
% theory; it handles text fonts in math expressions through the |\text|
% command provided by the |amsmath| package; of course there are
% functionalities to chose families series and shapes in a
% comfortable~way by means of the powerful command definition commands
% provided by the |xparse| package; for Greek letters it uses the
% functionalities of the |alphabeta| package, that allows to use
% in text mode the same control sequences that are used
% in math mode. The default families for Latin and Greek letters
% are the Latin Modern ones that allow a piecewise continuous
% scaling of any available particular font of the collection.
%
% It goes without saying that this poor man solution has advantages and
% disadvantages over the other indicated solutions.
%
% The main advantage is that no math groups are involved,
% therefore the user may couple any font family with any
% series and shape that family allows; the default
% family for Greek fonts are the Latin Modern compliant
% LGR encoded collection of CBfonts; they are always
% available with any up-to-date and complete \TeX\ system
% installation.^^A VERIFICARE! -- PUÃ’ DARSI CHE NON FUNZIONI CON FAMIGLIE DIVERSE
%
% This is also a disadvantage, in the sense that Latin Modern
% fonts might not be the best ones to use with any specific
% text font; for example they have an x-height smaller than
% the Palatino ones, and a larger `em' unit compared to the
% Times ones; they have also a slightly lighter “colorâ€
% compared to most other fonts.
%
% Nevertheless they work very well with the ISO regulations
% and in spite of the disadvantages listed above, they are
% usable without problems. This very documentation is typeset
% with Latin Modern fonts. The examples shown in a following
% section show the ease with which the ISO regulations may be
% fulfilled. Some problems, though, still remain, and require the
% user intervention.
%
% There are other Greek fonts that may be used in place of
% those of the CBfonts collection, especially those distributed
% by the Greek Font Society (GFS) that are already part of the
% \TeX\ system distribution; they are LGR encoded and have their
% specific |.fd| files. They are not so rich in series and shapes
% (some of them may lack the bold extended series and sometimes
% lack also the bold series); I would say the the GFS Bodoni
% family is sufficiently rich of series and shapes, and may be used
% also for the Latin fonts.
%
% There are also the Greek fonts that are “companions†to the
% Times fonts. So the user is not limited to the Latin Modern
% fonts, but admittedly there is not a great choice and, if it
% is necessary, the disadvantage of an unmatching Greek font is
% the price to pay if the user has to use \pdfLaTeX.
%
% \section{Usage}
% The usage of the package is very simple; in your preamble
% add the line
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{usepackage}\Oarg{engineer}\Marg{pm-isomath}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% The |engineer| option is used to set the imaginary unit the
% way electrical engineers usually do.
%
% The main macros that support the whole package, and that may
% be used also by the end user, are:
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{MathLatin}\marg{letter}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
%and
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{MathGreek}\marg{letter}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% where \cs{MathLatin} sets the text encoding to |T1|, while
% \cs{MathGreek} sets it to |LGR|. In both commands the arguments
% specified with \marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape} are all
% optional, including the first one in spite of being surrounded
% by curly braces. In both cases the default values for each
% argument are respectively |lmr|, |m|, and |n| (normal, upright).
% Notice the codes: |lmr|, |m|, and |n| are the codes that appear in
% the |.fd| file to declare the possible family, series, and shape
% combinations available for a given family. Further
% information is given below in table~\ref{tab:lmr-series-shapes} on
% page~\pageref{tab:lmr-series-shapes}, and how to discover these codes.
%
% Such default values, after loading |pm-isomath|, may be globally
% redefined by using in the preamble:
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{renewcommand}\Marg{ISOfam}\marg{family}
%\cs{renewcommand}\Marg{ISOser}\marg{series}
%\cs{renewcommand}\Marg{ISOsha}\marg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% We discourage this global redefinitions unless the user really
% knows what s/he is doing; in practice it must be checked that
% T1 encoded families and LGR encoded ones have the same family
% names. If the encoding+family|.fd| files are not available
% either they have to be created, or such default values should
% not be redefined.
%
% For Latin letters to use in the |\MathLatin| command mandatory
% argument there are no problems.
%
% For Greek letters you might use |\MathGreek| and the math letter
% commands |\alpha|, |\beta|,\dots, |\Omega| commands, but it is
% much simpler to avoid|\MathGreek| and
% use the package commands |\ISOalpha|, |\ISObeta|,\dots,
% |\ISOOmega|. All these commands follow the syntax:
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{ISO}\meta{lettername}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% where all the arguments are optional, including the first one
% in spite of being surrounded by curly braces. Such optional
% arguments must follow that order but all possible combinations
% are usable, for example:
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{ISOalpha}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\marg{family}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\oarg{series}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\parg{shape}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\marg{family}\oarg{series}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\marg{family}\parg{shape}
%\cs{ISOalpha}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% This offers the maximum flexibility in using the necessary commands.
%
% The package defines other macros for fulfilling the rules
% relative to the differential symbol and the numerical constants
% represented with letters; furthermore it defines the commands
% for the |\ohm| unit of measure and the |\micro| SI prefix;
% this latter macro uses a special shape of the CBfonts where
% an upright shape with serifed lowercase Greek letters is
% available; if another family, lacking this shape, is being used,
% then the normal upright shape is used. In typesetting this
% documentation, evidently there are no problems, but with other
% font selections, especially with Greek fonts, there might be
% some mismatching shapes.
%
% Commands similar to those defined by the |ISOmath| package
% are also defined so as to simplify the font selection for
% vectors, matrices and tensors.
%
% \section{Examples}
% \subparagraph{ISO Greek letters}
% In the examples represented in table~\ref{tab:isoletters}, we typeset
% an array in math mode, where we show all the Greek letters that
% can be typeset with the \cs{ISO}\meta{lettername} macros; the
% array is typeset in normal math style, but the ISO letters are
% in bold style so that there is no confusion with a normal
% bold math setting; some letters, equal to the Latin ones, are
% also defined because some users have experienced difficulties
% in remembering the correct signs especially while labelling
% diagrams. The array in table~\ref{tab:isoletters} may be a
% useful reference.

% \subparagraph{ISO upright partial differential}

% differential symbol that conforms the ISO regulations. All other
% fonts at the moment available to typeset mathematics do not
% contain an upright symbol, but they contain the original slanted
% symbol as used with the CM fonts. With a poor-man trick it is
% possible to have available an upright symbol so as to describe
% the Electrical field as the opposite of the electric potential
% gradient. Compare the following formulas, where the second one
% is ISO compliant:
%\begin{align}
%\vectorsymbol{E} &=-\nabla V = -\left(
%\frac{\partial V}{\partial x}\vectorsymbol{e}_x +

%\section{Final remarks}
% This package |pm-isomath| is far from perfect, and its results are
% questionable; of course poor man solutions are just patches,
% incomplete solutions; nevertheless the results are not so bad. It has
% the indubitable advantage that is does not use any other math groups,
% therefore there is no risk to exceed the limit of 16~groups.
%
% As patches are not perfect, the above display of examples shows
% what can be done without human intervention. Attentive users
% have shown that the commands for vectors, matrices, and command
% do not perform well in certain circumstances. Such cases require
% some spacing corrections, but we were not capable to create
% sufficiently intelligent commands that could avoid human
% intervention. See below where, when and why human intervention
% is required.
%
%\section{Acknowledgements}
% I want to thank very much Laurent Van Deik, who remarked several
% typos and bugs; in particular he convinced me that the partial
% differential symbol, that in my previous version of this package
% was obtained by rotating and scaling the slanted one, had a
% different style from the other math glyphs; therefore I recreated
% the macro by applying an affine shearing transformation; I believe
% that this new solution, thanks to Laurent Van Deik's suggestion,
% is better suited to typeset ISO compliant math in a better way.
% He also helped a lot with the vector, matrix, and tensor macro
% testing. Thanks to him, this new version of |pm-isomath| is
% supposed to work as expected when using the
% Libertinus+LibertinusTimath fonts and other fonts where the
% textual fonts can handle also the LGR encoding; in previous
% versions there was a remarkable mismatch in certain math styles

%
% \section{The code}
% This package was loosely inspired by the |ISOmath| package
% by Günter Milde, but tackles the problem of insufficient maximum
% number of math font groups so as to avoid any problem with such
% group limitation, and therefore to avoid all the caveats in
% Milde's package.
%
% That package is much more comfortable to use than this one; but
% it is subject to a number of conditions that, depending on the
% user environment, may even result in a complete failure. This
% package avoids problems with math font groups because it does
% not use any, but it is not so comfortable to use because sometimes
% optional settings and spacing commands have to be specified.
%
% The preliminary lines have been already defined; therefore we
% start with real code.
%
% The trick of this package is that all fonts different from the
% four or six ones (including the AMS symbol fonts) are textual fonts
% used in math typesetting through the intermediate action of
% the |\text| command defined by the |amsmath| package.
% Therefore we start by verifying if packages |amsmath|,
% |alphabeta| and |xparse| have already been loaded in the document
% preamble; this implies a weak loading order, that is this
% package must be loaded after all the above packages are loaded;
% in facts if such packages are not, they get loaded by this
% one, but without any option. The package
% loading mechanism assures avoiding conflicts if packages are
% loaded without options; this is why if one of the three packages
% is loaded after this one but with some option specified, an
% “Option clash†error flag is raised; this is where the
% “weak†loading order error becomes a very “strong†one.
%\iffalse
%<*style>
%\fi
% Then we verify if the document is being typeset with \pdfLaTeX;
% if it is not, an error flag is raised and reading of this
% package is immediately interrupted. For this purpose we need
% an engine-detecting package, and we use the |iftex| one.

% Actually this package accepts an option: |engineer|. This
% option is for deciding if the imaginary unit should be
% defined as ‘i’ or as ‘j’. As we have remarked in the previous
% documentation, engineers, especially those who deal with
% electricity and electrical quantities, but also electronics,
% automatic control systems, and telecommunications engineers, use ‘j’;
% all these varieties of engineers could not do anything in their
% profession if they don't use complex numbers and quantities (the
% latter called phasors). Possibly they are the applied scientists
% who use complex numbers more often than any other scientist.
%
% Notice: this option has \emph{not} been used to prepare this
% very document.

% Are the necessary packages already loaded? Notice that in previous

% since 2020 the main functionalities of this package are already

% of those “deprecated†functionalities that did not make their way
% to the \LaTeX\ kernel.

%
% Now we have almost all software instruments available. We
% define a macro to switch the definitions of certain math
% Greek symbols; some of these are defined in the \LaTeX\
% kernel: the lowercase Greek variant letters; some others
% are defined in the |amsmath| package: the uppercase slanted
% greek letters. All these variant letters have a name identical
% to the regular ones but prefixed with the string |var|;
% example |\epsilon| and |\varepsilon|, |\Omega| and |\varOmega|.
% We switch the control sequence definitions between the |var|-less
% and the |var|-prefixed ones. The first group of lowercase
% letters is switched because the glyphs give a better match with
% those produced with the textual Greek glyphs obtained when the ISO
% macros are used. Especially the Greek lowercase letter group is
% not appreciated by certain users, because they need to correct
% any previously typeset document that uses the standard \LaTeX\
% symbols. They may easily revert to the previous settings by
% applying again the global switching macros
% \cs{switchvarlowercasegreekletters} and or
% \cs{switchvaruppercasegreekletters}. We discourage such reset,
% but users are free to chose what they need.
% \begin{macrocode}

% Eventually we load the |alphabeta| package; it
% allows using the same macros used in math mode while
% typesetting in text mode. We find it very useful in this
% package.
% \begin{macrocode}
\@ifpackageloaded{alphabeta}{}{\RequirePackage{alphabeta}}
% \end{macrocode}
%
% The next line defines the default family, series and shape
% to be used in the macros that follow; as it can be seen,
% the default family is the Latin Modern roman;
% the series is medium one and the shape is normal (or upright) one.
% The codes used are the same used in the font description
% files with extension |.fd|. The name of these |.fd| files
% is obtained by merging the encoding name with the family name;
% therefore the default font description file for Latin characters
% is |t1lmr.fd| while the one for Greek characters is |lgrlmr.fd|; these
% files define the series they contain and that are identified
% with codes such as |m| (medium); |bx| (bold extended);
% |b| (bold). Other fonts, with different series may have
% also other codes. For each series the |.fd| file defines the
% codes for shapes, and for every valid combination of
% series, shape and size it defines the specific font file
% to use.
%
% If the document preamble specifies a different textual font
% from the default Latin Modern the family name default should
% be changed; this is delayed at the execution of the
% |\begin{document}| command. But this might have strange effects
% on the corresponding Greek fonts, because they might be missing.
% Example: the GFS Bodoni fonts are chosen, they are good for both
% Latin and Greek text and no problems show up. The Libertinus
% fonts contain the Latin glyphs In various encodings), and the
% LGR encoded Greek ones, the Cyrillic fonts in various encodings.
% Apparently the Libertinus fonts are the most flexible available
% fonts for use with \pdfLaTeX. Only the typewriter type text font
% may be replaced with better results with other fonts; it is not
% important for mathematics, but I preferred to write this
% documentation with Latin Roman, because it contains several
% stretches of typewriter type texts.
% We should not care for the font names, but in order to use
% different font families, series, and shapes the user should
% know their codes. this is generally a difficult task, but
% not impossible; it ``suffices'' to open the packages that
% allow to use the desired fonts, read the code and find out
% the names of the |.fd| files; then search these files on the
% trees of the \TeX\ system, and eventually find out the
% codes for the available series and shapes.
%
% For the Modern Latin and Greek |.fd| files we have the series
% and shapes shown in table~\ref{tab:lmr-series-shapes}.

% As explained in the initial documentation, all font changing
% commands are constructed in such a way as to have a default
% family, series and shape common to both Latin and Greek fonts;
% therefore with three optional arguments that the user can
% specify with different delimiters, but respecting their order;
% the user can get eight different choice combinations that
% allow the selection of a large number of different looks.
%
% We now define the main and service macros that allow
% such font selection; we have to create similar macros that
% mostly differ in the encoding choice for Latin or Greek letters.
%
% The user macros are defined by means of the defining commands
% provided by the |xparse| package functionalities, while the service
% macros use normal \LaTeX\ commands. The user commands follow this
% special syntax:
%\begin{ttsintassi}
%\cs{MathLatin}\marg{Latin letter}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\cs{MathGreek}\marg{Greek letter}\marg{family}\oarg{series}\parg{shape}
%\end{ttsintassi}
% where in both cases the last three arguments are differently
% delimited optional values, even the first one of the three, in
% spite of being delimited by curly braces. In both cases the only
% mandatory argument is the Latin or Greek letter; the latter
% one may be specified by the macros |\alpha|, |\beta|,\dots,
% |\Omega|, the same ones that are normally used in math (although
% they are going to be used in text mode).
% \begin{macrocode}
\NewDocumentCommand\MathLatin{m g O{m} D(){it}}{%

% \end{macrocode}
% It is convenient to notice that for Greek letters the default
% encoding is LGR, the only encoding that \pdfLaTeX\ understands
% without the necessity of other packages. If the default text
% font family does not handle the Greek encoding, errors show
% up in different forms that difficult to handle. Therefore it
% is better to use the above commands with an explicit font
% family code, for example |lmr|, and accept the consequent
% font mismatch. After examining the result the author may
% accept the mismatch, but s/he might prefer to select a
% different textual Greek font the glyphs of which have a
% less noticeable mismatch; even better, s/he might prefer
% to use a couple of matching Latin and Greek fonts, so that
% it is possible to get e perfect match. This is why we suggest
% to typeset the document either with Latin Modern, or Libertinus
% (that is usable also with slavic languages typeset in Cyrillic);
% among the fonts provided by the Greek Font Society (GFS), the
% Bodoni collection is available with matching Latin and Greek
% families. These are just examples; the user can explore its
% own \TeX\ system installation where PFB fonts are stored and
% discover the multitude of available fonts.
%
% We now define the macros for all lowercase Greek letters
% and several uppercase ones (even some that are identical
% to some Latin letters) that should save several keystrokes
% when entering such letters in the source file. The shorter
% the code to type in, the smaller the the number of potential typos.

% Imitating the |ISOmath| package we define also the macros

% \end{macrocode}
% Package |ISOmath| defines macros for typesetting vectors,
% matrices and tensors; we do the same, but avoid the
% abbreviation |sym| and replace it with |symbol|.
% The strange test with the digit ‘9’ is a dirty trick (described in
% the \TeX\-book) in order to discover if the symbol is a digit or a
% letter; with digits the vector and tensor symbols should be upright,
% while with letters they should be italic or slanted. The italic
% correction |\/| contained by the font selection command is useful
% in situations where the “text†produced by such command is followed
% by a tall or raised object
% \begin{macrocode}
\AtBeginDocument{%
\unless\ifdefined\vectorsymbol

\IfBooleanT{#1}{\!}\mathsfbfit{#2\/}%
\fi}%
\fi
}
% \end{macrocode}
%
% As shown in the previous various examples, such macros work pretty
% well, but in some circumstances they require human help; when the
% symbol is parenthesised, for example when it is the argument of a
% function, or when it is at the beginning of a math sub\,expression,
% either it is not centred between the parentheses, or it has
% extra blank space at its left; this happens only if the vector or
% tensor symbol is a letter, while if it is a digit such extra space
% does not appear; such considerations hold true also for the
% |\matrixsymbol| command.
% Therefore a negative math kerning is required at the left of the
% literal symbol. For this purpose such commands have the variant with
% asterisk, therefore their syntax have these two similar forms:
%\begin{flushleft}\obeylines
%|\vectorsymbol|\marg{symbol}
%|\vectorsymbol*|\marg{symbol}
%|\tensorsymbol|\marg{symbol}
%|\tensorsymbol*|\marg{symbol}
%\end{flushleft}
% where the asterisk can be used by the author in order to eliminate
% spurious left blanc spaces; if the symbol is numeric, the asterisk
% presence is ignored: see the following examples:
%\begin{quote}
%Vector $\vectorsymbol{T}$ is null: $\vectorsymbol{T}=\vectorsymbol{0}$\\
%Vector $\vectorsymbol*{T}$ is null: $\vectorsymbol*{T}=\vectorsymbol*{0}$\\
%Tensor $\tensorsymbol{T}$ is null: $\tensorsymbol{T}=\tensorsymbol{0}$\\
%Tensor $\tensorsymbol*{T}$ is null: $\tensorsymbol*{T}=\tensorsymbol{0}$
%\end{quote}
%They are typeset with the following code:
%\begin{verbatim}
%Vector $\vectorsymbol{T}$ is null: $\vectorsymbol{T}=\vectorsymbol{0}$\\
%Vector $\vectorsymbol*{T}$ is null: $\vectorsymbol*{T}=\vectorsymbol*{0}$\\
%Tensor $\tensorsymbol{T}$ is null: $\tensorsymbol{T}=\tensorsymbol{0}$\\
%Tensor $\tensorsymbol*{T}$ is null: $\tensorsymbol*{T}=\tensorsymbol{0}$
%\end{verbatim}
%
%
% We now define the macros required to set some elements with the
% proper fonts; the idea is the same as that for vectors,
% matrices and tensors, except that these macros produce
% directly the desired symbol without using arguments, if
% possible.
%
% The imaginary unit is subject to the state of the |engineer|
% switch, set with the proper option on calling the package.
% If such option has been specified in calling this package,
% the |\iu| command is let to |\junit|, otherwise it's let
% to |\iunit|. In spite of this option-driven aliases, both
% commands |\iunit| and |\junit| are still available to the
% user.
%
% The Napier number ‘e’ is defined in roman type, but as an
% operator; this number is not an operator in the mathematical
% sense, but it is most often used as the base of an exponential;
% therefore such math “atom†must be treated as an
% operator as well as when the official operator macro |\exp|
% is used.
%
% The transcendental number $\ISOpi$, different from the plane
% angle $\pi$, is defined so as to be typeset in upright
% style; similar definitions may be used for other numerical
% constants; we define just |\uppi| because we think it is the
% most used symbol in any kind of mathematics. The
% $\ISOpi{lmss}(n)$ Greek letter in upright sans serif font
% may indicate the subatomic particle “pion†so that a
% similar macro, say, |\pion| may be given a suitable definition.
%
% The differential symbol is not an operator, but it requires
% a special treatment; a macro |\diff| for the differential
% symbol uses an empty ‘operator’ and a negative shift to typeset
% an upright letter ‘d’ with an operator spacing on its left,
% so that proper spacing is used in math typesetting; notice
% that the given definition does not perform as the direct
% use of a thin math space before the upright ‘d’, because
% spacing between math atoms depends on their category, while
% the thin space |\,| is absolute and does not change depending
% on the preceding math atom.
%
% The ISO regulations require that any letter-like symbol that
% does not refer to a measurable quantity be set in upright shape;
% we already applied the regulation to the regular differential
% symbol, that may appear in both the derivative fractions and
% in the differential integrators. With partial derivatives the
% default symbol is slanted since the very beginning of \TeX, when the
% OMS Computer Modern Symbol font was defined; according to the
% ISO regulations such symbol should be upright. For use with
% \pdfLaTeX the only font distributed with any \TeX system that
% contains such an upright symbol is the LibertinusT1math one;
% all other OMS encoded fonts available today do not contain it.
% The defined command |\uppartial| name is identical to the one used
% by the LibertinusT1math font; therefore it is easy to check if
% this symbol has already been defined.
%
% On \texttt{tex.stachexchange.com} some questions were asked on
% how to produce a suitable upright partial differential symbol,
% when fonts did not have one available. The solutions we found
% in that site were of different kinds: some were based on rotating and
% scaling the available slanted sign, while others used a shearing
% affine transformation of the available partial differential
% symbol. We follow a similar approach, but we avoid to redefine
% this symbol if it is already available. The used commands
% \cs{pdfsave}, \cs{pdfrestore}, and \cs{pdfsetmatrix} are little
% known internal commands of the |pdftex| interpreter\footnote{See
% the documentation with \texttt{texdoc pdftex-a} at §8.20}; they are
% sort of intermediate between \TeX\ and the PDF internals; they
% are used to form something similar to a group, within which some
% PDF settings are locally modified; in this case an affine
% shearing transformation is defined by means of a matrix (apparently
% made up of one row and four columns, but in reality it represents
% the alignment of the rows of a $2\times2$ matrix) that can do
% many things in a way that is more comfortable for the programmer

% The default \meta{shearing coefficient} is fixed to 0.25, but it may
% be changed by means of an optional argument; see below. Of course this
% solution is a patch; we tested it at several sizes but only
% with the Latin Modern Type~1 fonts. May be with other fonts
% the results might need some adjustments. We also fixed some
% kerning adjustments so that the normal math spacings take place.
% The whole syntax is the following
%\begin{flushleft}
%\cs{uppartial}\oarg{shearing coefficient}
%\end{flushleft}

% The command |\unit| for appending the units of measure to
% the numerical value of the measure is added if no packages
% have already defined it; package |siunitx| is a particularly
% recommended one, but its units and prefixes expressed by means
% of Greek letters must be used only within its |\si| and |\SI|
% commands. Similar considerations hold true for the
% |\ap| and |\ped| (apex and pedex, respectively; i.e\
% superscript and subscript); therefore such command definitions
% are deferred to the start of the document so as to be sure
% to avoid damaging other package settings. All these commands
% may be used in both text and math modes; therefore a robust
% macro |\textormath| is (re)defined even if often such command
% is already available; the |\DeclareRobustCommand| unconditionally
% declares and redeclares robust commands even if they are
% already defined; possibly an information line is written in
% the |.log| file in case a redefinition takes palace. These
% commands typeset their arguments in upright math fonts, but
% with the current font in text mode.
%
% The |\ohm| and |\micro| macros produce their symbols in
% upright style while in math mode, and with the current
% font and shape in text mode.
