-<h3>Setting bold Greek letters in LaTeX</h3>
-<p/>The issue here is complicated by the fact that <code>\</code><code>mathbf</code> (the
-command for setting bold <em>text</em> in TeX maths) affects a select
-few mathematical symbols (the uppercase Greek letters). However
-lower-case Greek letters behave differently from upper-case Greek
-letters (due to Knuth&#8217;s esoteric font encoding decisions). However,
-<code>\</code><code>mathbf</code> <em>can&#8217;t</em> be used even for upper-case Greek letters in
-the AMSLaTeX <i>amsmath</i> package, which
-disables this font-switching and you must use one of the techniques
-outlined below.
-<p/>The Plain TeX solution <em>does</em> work, in a limited way:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-{\boldmath$\theta$}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-but <code>\</code><code>boldmath</code> may not be used in maths mode, so this &#8216;solution&#8217;
-requires arcana such as:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-$... \mbox{\boldmath$\theta$} ...$
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which then causes problems in superscripts, etc.
-<p/>These problems may be addressed by using a bold mathematics package.
-<ul>
-<li> The <i>bm</i> package, which is part of the LaTeX tools
- distribution, defines a command <code>\</code><code>bm</code> which may be used anywhere
- in maths mode.
-<li> The <i>amsbsy</i> package (which is part of AMSLaTeX)
- defines a command <code>\</code><code>boldsymbol</code>, which (though slightly less
- comprehensive than <code>\</code><code>bm</code>) covers almost all common cases.
-</ul>
-<p/>All these solutions cover all mathematical symbols, not merely Greek
-letters.
