\ProvidesPackage{principia}[2020/10/25 principia package version 1.1] %This package supports typesetting the Peanese notation in Volume I of Whitehead and Russell’s 1910 ``Principia Mathematica".
%Version 1.0 (superseded by Version 1.1): Covers typesetting of notation through Volume I. 2020/10/24
%Version 1.1 (updates): fixed the spacing of scope dots around parentheses; fixed spacing of theorem sign; fixed spacing around primitive proposition and definition signs. 2020/10/25
+%Version 1.2 (updates): boldfaced (`thickened') the truth-functional connectives, existential quantifier, set and relation symbols; added numerous commands for typesetting brackets and substitutions into theorems. 2021/02/23

\usepackage{marvosym} %This loads the male and female symbol.
\usepackage{graphicx} %This loads commands that flip iota for definite descriptions, Lambda for the universal class, and so on. The (superseded) graphics package should also work here, but is not recommended.

In \textit{Principia Mathematica} some symbols occur with an argument and sometimes that same symbol occurs without an argument. For example, `$\pmsome{x}$' occurs in some formulas, but sometimes `$\pmSome$' occurs in the text when they talk about the symbol itself. \texttt{principia} is designed to accommodate these different occurrences of symbols. When a symbol is to occur without an argument, capitalize the first letter following the `\texttt{$\backslash$pm}' part of the command. E.g. \verb|\pmsome{x}| produces $\pmsome{x}$ and \verb|\pmSome| produces `$\pmSome$'. Note the former command requires an argument and the latter command does not. Not all commands in the \texttt{principia} package admit of such dual use because some symbols in \textit{Principia Mathematica} never occur without an argument or do not take an argument in the usual sense. For example, the propositional connectives do not take an `argument' in the way singular or plural descriptions do.
-Version 1.1 of \texttt{principia}, like Version 1.0, is adequate to typeset all notations throughout Volume I of \textit{Principia} and includes some fixes to spacing, etc. See the package documentation for details. Updates to include all notations throughout Volumes II and III are planned.
+Version 1.2 (and 1.0-1.1) of \texttt{principia} is adequate to typeset all notations throughout Volume I of \textit{Principia} and includes some fixes to spacing, etc. See the package documentation for details. Updates to include all notations throughout Volumes II and III are planned.
\texttt{principia}'s dependencies are \texttt{amsmath}, \texttt{amssymb}, \texttt{pifont}, \texttt{marvosym}, and \texttt{graphicx}. Make sure to load these package by typing \texttt{$\backslash$usepackage\{graphicx\}}, etc., into the document preamble. To load \texttt{principia}, type \texttt{$\backslash$usepackage\{principia\}} in the document's preamble.
