# The `fixdif` Package

The `fixdif` package provides an interface for defining the style of differential operators.

The basic commands are:

- `\d`: for differential operator "d" in math mode and under-dot accent in text;
- `\partial`: a "fixed" partial differential operator command;
- `\letdif`: an interface for defining new commands for differential operators;
- `\mathdif`: a commmand in math mode, you can use it just like `\mathop`, etc.

See `fixdif.pdf` for more. Happy TeXing!

% 
% \begin{abstract}
% The \pkg{fixdif} package redefines the \cs{d} command in \LaTeX{} 
% and provides an interface to define commands for differential operators.
%
% The package is compatible with pdf\TeX, \XeTeX{} and \LuaTeX. 
% Furthermore, the package is compatible with \pkg{unicode-math} package 
% in \XeTeX{} and \LuaTeX.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{The background}
% It's usually recommended that one should reserve a small skip between 
% the differential operator and the expression before it\footnote{See 
% \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14821/whats-the-proper-way-to-typeset-a-differential-operator}.}. 
% Take the following cases as an example:
% \[f(x)\mathrm{d}x\qquad\mbox{and}\qquad f(x)\d x.\]
% We usually consider that the example on the right side is better than the 
% one on the left side. The little skip between $f(x)$ and $\d x$ can be 
% regarded as a symbol of the product of $f(x)$ and $\d x$. 
%
% So some users prefer to define a macro like this:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \renewcommand\d{\mathop{\mathrm{d}}\!}
% \end{Verbatim}
% This macro works well in ``display math'' and ``text math'', but we still 
% face the following three problems:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item The skip before ``d'' would still be reserved in ``text fraction'', 
% which is regarded bad. For example, |$\d y/\d x$| produces 
% $\mathrm{d}y/\,\mathrm{d}x$;
%
% \item This |\d| command cannot be used out of math mode. In another word, 
% |\d{o}| would not produce ``\d{o}'' in text;
%
% \item The skip between ``d'' and the expression before it can be regarded 
% as a product operator. A product operator is definitely a binary operator. 
%
% Take |\cdot| ($\cdot$) as an example.
% A binary operator reserves small skips before and after itself when in 
% ``display math'' or ``text math'' such as $x\cdot y$, but the skips will 
% disappear in ``script math'' or ``script script math'' such as $a^{x\cdot y}$. 
% Thus the small skip should also disappear in script, but |$a^{f(x)\d x}$| 
% still produces $a^{f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x}$ but not $a^{f(x)\d x}$.
% \end{enumerate}
% To solve these problems, you can try this package.
%
% \section{Introduction}
% To load this package, write
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usepackage{fixdif}
% \end{Verbatim}
% in the preamble. In your document, 
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \[ f(x)\d x,\quad\frac{\d y}{\d x},\quad\d y/\d x,\quad a^{y\d x}. \]
% \end{Verbatim}
% will produce
% \[f(x)\d x,\quad \frac{\d y}{\d x},\quad \d y/\d x,\quad a^{y\d x}.\]
%
% \subsection{When using \pkg{unicode-math}}
% If you are using \pkg{unicode-math} package with \XeTeX/\LuaTeX{} 
% in your document, you must pay attention to the following items:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item If you want to use \pkg{amsmath} package, make sure that the 
% \pkg{unicode-math} package is loaded \emph{after} \pkg{amsmath}. 
%
% \item You had better specify the math font through the \cs{setmathfont} 
% command provided by \pkg{unicode-math} in order to avoid bad skip in  
% text fraction like $\d y/\d x$.
%
% \item Load the \pkg{fixdif} package \emph{after} \pkg{unicode-math}.
% \end{itemize}
% Therefore the correct order is
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usepackage{amsmath}
% \usepackage{unicode-math}
% \setmathfont{...}[...]
% \usepackage{fixdif}
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \subsection{When using \pkg{hyperref}}
% If you want to use the \pkg{hyperref} package simultaneously, 
% remember to load \pkg{hyperref} \emph{before} the \pkg{fixdif} package, 
% otherwise the \pkg{hyperref} package will cause conflicts.
%
% \subsection{Basic commands and package options}
% \DescribeMacro{\d}
% The \pkg{fixdif} package provides a \cs{d} command for the differential 
% operator ``d'' in math mode. When in text, \cs{d} behaves just like 
% the old \cs{d} command in \LaTeX{} or plain \TeX{} as an 
% accent command. For example, 
% \begin{Verbatim}
% $\d x$ and \d x
% \end{Verbatim}
% will produce ``$\d x$ and \d x''.
%
% \paragraph{Set the font of \cs{d}}
% There are two basic package options to control the \cs{d}'s style in math 
% mode~--- \opt{rm} and \opt{normal}. The default option is \opt{rm}, in which 
% case |$f(x)\d x$| produces $f(x)\d x$. If you chose the \opt{normal} option, 
% for example
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usepackage[normal]{fixdif}
% \end{Verbatim}
% |$f(x)\d x$| would produces $f(x)\,dx$.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\resetdfont}
% Besides the previous two optional fonts, you can reset the font of 
% differential operator ``d'' through \cs{resetdfont} command in preamble:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \resetdfont{\mathsf}
% \end{Verbatim}
% then |\d x| will produce $\mathsf{d}x$.
%
% \paragraph{Control the behavior of \cs{partial}}
% \DescribeMacro{\partial}
% In default, \cs{partial} will also be regarded as a differential operator 
% in this package. If you don't like this default setting, you can use the 
% \opt{nopartial} option:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usepackage[nopartial]{fixdif}
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \section{Define commands for differential operators}
% \noindent\emph{Attention! The commands in this section 
% can be used in preamble only!}
%
% \subsection{Define commands with a single command name}
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{letdif}\marg{cmd}\marg{csname}}\DescribeMacro{\letdif}
% \hfill(preamble only)
%
% The \cs{letdif} command has two arguments~--- the first is the newly-defined 
% command and the second is the control sequence \emph{name} of a math character, 
% that is, a command without its backslash. For example,
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif{\vr}{delta}
% \end{Verbatim}
% then |\vr| will produce a $\delta$ (|\delta|) with automatic skip 
% before it.
%
% Through the \cs{letdif} command, we can redefine a math character command 
% by its name. For example, 
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif{\delta}{delta}
% \end{Verbatim}
% then |\delta| itself will be a differential operator.
%
% The second argument \meta{csname} of \cs{letdif} command can be used 
% repeatedly.
%
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{letdif*}\marg{cmd}\marg{csname}}\DescribeMacro{\letdif*}
% \hfill(preamble only)
%
% This command is basically the same as \cs{letdif}, but this command will 
% patch a correction after the differential operator. This is very useful 
% when a math font is setted through \pkg{unicode-math} package. For example, 
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usepackage{unicode-math}
% \setmathfont{TeX Gyre Termes Math}
% \usepackage{fixdif}
% \letdif{\vr}{updelta}
% \end{Verbatim}
% this will cause bad negative skip after |\vr|, but if you change the last 
% line into
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif*{\vr}{updelta}
% \end{Verbatim}
% you will get the result correct.
%
% \subsection{Define commands with multi commands or a string}
%
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{newdif}\marg{cmd}\marg{multi-cmd}}\DescribeMacro{\newdif}
% \hfill(without correction, preamble only)\\
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{newdif*}\marg{cmd}\marg{multi-cmd}}\DescribeMacro{\newdif*}
% \hfill(with correction, preamble only)
%
% The first argument of these commands is the newly-defined command; and the 
% second argument should contain \emph{more than one} tokens.
% For example, if you have loaded the \pkg{xcolor} package, 
% you can use the following line:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \newdif{\redsfd}{\textsf{\color{red}d}}
% \end{Verbatim}
% Then you get the |\redsfd| as a differential operator. Take another example,
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \newdif{\D}{\mathrm{D}}
% \end{Verbatim}
% Then you get |\D| for an uppercase upright ``D'' as a differential operator.
%
% If your second argument contains only one command like |\Delta|, 
% it's recommended to use \cs{letdif} or \cs{letdif*} instead.
%
% \cs{newdif} and \cs{newdif*} will check whether \meta{cmd} has been defined 
% already. If so, an error message will be given.
%
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{renewdif}\marg{cmd}\marg{multi-cmd}}\DescribeMacro{\renewdif}
% \hfill(without correction, preamble only)\\
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{renewdif*}\marg{cmd}\marg{multi-cmd}}\DescribeMacro{\renewdif*}
% \hfill(with correction, preamble only)
%
% These two commands are basically the same as \cs{newdif} and \cs{newdif*}. 
% The only difference is that \cs{renewdif} and \cs{renewdif*} will check 
% whether \meta{cmd} has \emph{not} been defined yet. If so, an error message 
% will be given.
%
% \section{Using differential operators temporarily}
%
% \noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{mathdif}\marg{symbol}}\DescribeMacro{\mathdif}
% \hfill(without correction, in math mode only)\\ 
%\noindent\textcolor{titlecolor}{\cs{mathdif*}\marg{symbol}}\DescribeMacro{\mathdif*}
% \hfill(with correction, in math mode only)
%
% These two commands can be used in math mode only, more specifically, 
% after \verb|\begin{document}|. For example, \verb|$x\mathdif{\Delta}\psi$| 
% will get $x\mathdif{\Delta}\psi$.
%
% \section{Examples}
%
% This section shows how to use this package properly in your document.
%
% Take the two examples below:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif{\Delta}{Delta}       % Example 1, in preamble
% \letdif{\nabla}{nabla}       % Example 2, in preamble
% \end{Verbatim}
% Actually, the second example is more reasonable. 
% Sometimes, we take ``$\Delta$'' as laplacian (equivalent to $\nabla^2$), 
% while ``$\Delta$'' can also be regarded as a variable 
% or function at some other times. Consequently, it's better to save 
% a different command for ``$\Delta$'' as laplacian while reserve 
% \verb|\Delta| as a command for an ordinary math symbol ``$\Delta$''. 
% However, in the vast majority of cases, ``$\nabla$'' is regarded as 
% nabla operator so there is no need to save a different command for 
% ``$\nabla$''. Then we can correct the code above:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif{\laplacian}{Delta}   % Example 1, corrected, in preamble
% \end{Verbatim}
% With the \pkg{xparse} package, we can define the command in another method:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \letdif{\nabla}{nabla}
% \DeclareDocumentCommand{ \laplacian }{ s }{
%   \IfBooleanTF{#1}{\mathdif{\Delta}}{\nabla^2}
% }
% \end{Verbatim}
% Then \verb|\laplacian| produces $\nabla^2$ and \verb|\laplacian*| 
% produces $\Delta$.
%
% \paragraph{Dealing with ``$+$'' and ``$-$''}
% If you input \verb|$-\d x$|, you'll get ``$-\d x$'' in your document. 
% However, if you think ``$-{\d x}$'' is better, you can input 
% \verb|-{\d x}|. The ``\verb|\d x|'' in a \emph{group} will be 
% regarded \textsl{ordinary} but not \textsl{inner} so that the 
% small skip will disappear. Maybe ``$-\d x$'' is just okay.
