+The PM-ISOmath package, version 1.00 of 2017-08-22
+Original author: Claudio Beccari, 2017
+LaTeX Project Public Licence LPPL v.1.3 (or later)
+
+The PM-ISOmath name stands for "Poor Man ISO Math". In substance
+ this package is a poor man solution to the task of typesetting 
+ math fulfilling the ISO regulations "for physical sciences and technology" (formerli regulations ISO 31/XI, now ISO\,80000). 
+ These regulations refer mostly to the family, series and shape 
+ of fonts to be used with symbols of various nature.
+
+This package gets inspiration from the ISOmath package by Günter 
+Milde, but tries to get the same results without using any math 
+[font] groups (or families). As pdfLaTeX users may recall, this 
+typesetting program may se at maximum 16 math [font] groups (or 
+math font families); sometimes this number results in an error 
+that forbids the user to use the symbols s/he needs.
+
+The trick used in this package consists in employing text fonts 
+within the \text command (defined by the amsmath package that, therefore, is a dependence  to which pmisomath is subjected) and 
+chose text font families, series, and shapes to be used within 
+that command argument.
+
+The commands are such as to fulfil some math requirements; for 
+example while in the scope of the \boldmath declaration, the 
+series is automatically set to bold without any user intervention. 
+The font size is automatically taken care by \text, so that fonts 
+have the correct size also while typesetting exponents or subscripts.
+
+Nevertheless, through proper advanced command options, the user 
+remains the person principally responsible of using the right 
+font for the right symbol in a document that must fulfil the 
+ISO regulations.
+
+This package is usable only with pdfLaTeX; LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX 
+can access OpenType math fonts through the package unicode-math, 
+and with the "math-style=ISO" option they have the math switching 
+commands agree with the ISO regulations.
+
+pdfLATeX users have available some packages to fulfil the ISO requirements; principally the ISOmath package thet is subject 
+to a number of limitations due the the particular math environment 
+of the user, and libertinust1math that produces a complete set-up 
+with math fonts that match very well text fonts that are darker 
+than the standard default Computer Modern ones (including the 
+CM-super and the Latin Modern ones).
+
+This package works very well with the Latin Modern fonts; in 
+practice in math mode it uses the same Latin text fonts, and 
+the corresponding families, series, and shapes of the LGR 
+encoded CBfonts; it may work also with the CM and the CM-super 
+fonts, but the original author never uses them, therefore he 
+cannot guarantee any suitable result.
+
+For installation of this package, simply run the pmisomath.dtx 
+through pdfLaTeX (and only pdfLaTeX); move the produced sty file 
+to the .../tex/latex/pmisomath/ folder; if it does not exist, 
+create it; similarly move pmisomath.dtx to .../source/latex/pmisomath/ 
+and pmisomath.pdf to .../doc/latex/pmisomath/.

+% \begin{abstract}
+% The ISO regulation 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 the an
+% ``Expertise'' for a Legal Court that does not fulfil such
+% regulations in certain countries may be rejected by the Court,
+% independently from its expert contents.
+%
+% Authors may not like them, but in the filed 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 applied sciences; their title explicitly mentions ``physics
+% and technology'', but their careful reading let understand that
+% they apply to alla sciences that use the ``mathematics of
+% quantities''. Such entities form a special group or space,
+% where the elements are couples of two ordered elements $(x, y)$,
+% where $y$ represents the unit of measure and $x$ represents the
+% ratio of the quantity to the unit of measure. Such paired
+% elements may not e separated, therefore some special
+% mathematical rules are established in order to operate on
+% such entities.
+%
+% Add to these special mathematical bases the facto that the
+% measure component of the quantity is pretty fuzzy and it
+% is always accompanied by a certain degree of uncertainty;
+% metrologists are the the masters in measuring quantities
+% and handling their measures and uncertainties, but although
+% for simplicity measures are handled by lay people as rational
+% numbers (after all aren't the 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 they published
+% a long list of named quantities with their preferred symbols
+% and their ``normal'' units according to the prescriptions
+% of the Comité International des Pois et Mésures, that
+% established the the International System of measures 
+% (Systhème 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 free
+% 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 mani 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 or 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 Institutions that
+% several years ago was appointed to replace the United States
+% National Bureau of Standards. Thei 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; Is 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 other languages than 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 exist the quite recent
+% LibertinusT1math fonts for \pdfLaTeX, created by Michal Sharpe,
+% that to my best knowledge are the only ones with 256 glyph
+% encodings. Package |libertinust1math| accepts the |ISO| option
+% that allows to fulfil the ISO regulations; it accepts other
+% options depending on which 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 any user requirement.
+%
+% 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, which is not new any more, because it dates back to
+% 1994, when \LaTeX\,209 became obsolete and was substituted
+% by \LaTeXe.). 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 if it does not use some \TeX\ software.
+%
+% The handicap I am talking about is the way math alphabets are
+% handled at the moment 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. 
+%
+% 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 he was evidently wrong. Users who use packages such
+% as the Fourier or the KPfonts have to pay special attention
+% to their 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  technology''.
+% 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 this 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 the following the word ``quantity'' is used to represent
+% any physical entity that may be measured according to the
+% metrological standards; the word ``variable'' is used to
+% represent a mathematical entity that represents variable data.
+%\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 som 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 ratio'', 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 typesets.
+% \item
+%   All quantity symbols must be set in italics, slanted type
+%   is allowed, but serifed italics should be referred, 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) be in upright font
+% in order to avoid confusion with the electric current density
+% $j$ or the electric current $i$; more difficult: the
+% transcendental number $\ISOpi=3.14159\dots$ 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 include numbers and their digits, symbols that 
+%   represent constant numeric values, all appositions both 
+%   in subscript and superscript position. Appositions are not 
+%   quantities or variables: 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 $V_{\mathrm{i}}$ is an apposition because `i' 
+%   means, say, `input'.
+% \item
+%   Upright bold roman or black board bold symbols represent sets.
+% \item
+%   Italic bold symbols represent matrices; une column matrices
+%   may represent vectors in an algebraic way and should be 
+%   treated as any other matrix; generally multirow and multicolumn 
+%   matrices are typeset with uppercase letters, while lowercase 
+%   ones are reserved for vectors; but in some sciences also vectors 
+%   may have uppercase letters. Geometrical vectors that might be 
+%   typeset wit a medium series upper o lowercase italic letter 
+%   with an arrow on top of it are nor treated by the ISO 
+%   regulations that speak of vectors irrespective if they are 
+%   considered as one column matrices od 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 $\mathsf{S}_2$'', ``the 
+%    planetary gear $\mathsf{G}_3$'', 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 ``operators'' 
+%   alphabet and are letter symbols; therefore 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'' alphabet
+%   and are ordinary symbols; they are slanted, and this is fine, 
+%   but as ordinary symbols they cannot be modified by commands 
+%   such as |\mathrm|; furthermore upright lowercase Greek letters
+%   are not available.
+%\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 contrst with the ISO regulations)
+% require that all math entities typeset with Greek letters be
+% upright. Among these the |fourier| and the |kpfont|. 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 letters as well as
+% slanted uppercase ones.
+%
+% Package |libertinust1math| allows the use of the 256~glyph
+% encoded fonts and are less sensitive to the limit of 16~math
+% groups, Is 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 fulfill the ISO regulations. Maybe
+% the only drawback of the fonts used is that they match text
+% fonts that are blacker than the standard Computer or Latin
+% Modern fonts. 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
+% there are no difficulties with the number of math groups.
+%
+% \section{The poor man solution}
+% The poor man solution is  very simple in theory; it handles
+% text fonts in math expressions through the |\text| command
+% of 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.
+%
+% Needless to say, 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 updated and complete \TeX\ system
+% installation.
+%
+% 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 `color'
+% than 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 documentation is typeset
+% with Latin Modern fonts and this very package. The examples
+% shown in a following chapter show the ease with which the
+% ISO regulations may be fulfilled.
+%
+% There are other Greek fonts that may be used in place if
+% 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{usebackage}\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} set 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).
+%
+% 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 the math commands |\alpha|,
+% |\beta|,\dots, |\Omega| commands, but it is much simpler to
+% 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 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}\marg{family}\oarg{series}
+%\cs{ISOalpha}\marg{family}\parg{shape}
+%\cs{ISOalpha}\oarg{series}\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 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 this example we typeset an array in math mode, where
+% we show all the Greek letters that can be typeset with
+% the \cs{ISO}\meta{letter} 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 may be a useful reference, \ref{tab:isoletters}.

+%\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; But the results are not so bad. It has
+% the indubitable advantage that is does not use any math group,
+% therefore there is no risk to exceed the limit of 16~math groups.
+%
+% \StopEventually{}
+%
+% \section{The code}
+% This package was loosely inspired by the |ISOmath| package
+% by Günter Milde, but tacles the problem of insuffiente maximum
+% number of math font groups so as to avoid any problem with such
+% groups, and therfore all the caveats in Milde's package. That
+% package is much more comfortable to use then this one; but
+% it is subject to a number of conditions the, depending on the
+% user environment, may even result in a complete failure. This
+% package avoids problema with math font groups because it does
+% not use any, but it is not so comfortable to use because often
+% the user has to specify optional settings.
+%
+%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 (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 by in the
+% preamble document; this implies a weak loading order, that is this
+% package must be loaded after all the above packages are loaded;
+% in facts of such packages are not loaded, they are by this
+% package, and they are loaded without options. 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 error becomes an very ``strong'' one.

+% it it is not; and error flag is raised and reading of this

+% Actually this package accepts an option: |engineer|. This
+% option is for deciding if the imaginary uit should be
+% defined as `i' or `j'. As we have remarked in the previous
+% documentation, engineers, especially those who deal with
+% electricity and electrical quantities, but also electronics
+% and telecommunications engineers, use only `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). possible they are the applied scientists
+% who use complex numbers more than any other scientist.
+% This option has not been used to prepare this documented \TeX\ file.

+% Now we have almost alla 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 lettere 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
+% ones 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.

+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Eventually we load the |alphabeta| package; this package
+% 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 regular (or roman);
+% the series i medium and the shape is normal (or upright).
+% The codes used are the same used in the font description
+% files with extension |.fd|. their name if 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 the contains 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| defines the
+% codes for shapes, and for every valid combination of
+% series, shape and sizes it defines the specific font file
+% to use. 
+
+% 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; is ``suffices'' to open the packages that
+% allow to use the desired fonts, read the code and fin out
+% the names of the |.fd| files; then search this file on the
+% trees of the \TeX\ system, and eventually find out the
+% codes for the available series and shapes.
+% 
+% for the Latin and Greek |.fd| file we havethe series and
+% shapes shown in table~\ref{tab:lmr-series-shapes}.

+% As explained in the initial documentation all fonts changing
+% commands are constructed in such a way as to have a default

+% the user can get eight different choice combinations that

+%
+% We now define the mains macros and service macros that allow

+%
+% The user macros are defined by meanso of the defining commands

+% Package |ISOmath| defines macros for typesetting vectors,

+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\let\vectorsymbol\mathbfit
+\let\matrixsymbol\mathbfit
+\let\tensorsymbol\mathsfbfit
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% We now define some macros for setting some elements in the
+% proper fonts; the ideaa 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 specifies 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 stille 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 uses as the base of an exponential;
+% therefore such mathematica ``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, |\sspi| or, more expressively, |\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 bteween math atoms depends on their category, while
+% the thin space |\,| is absolute and does not change depending
+% on the preceding math atom.
+%
+% 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.  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.
