+hepparticles --- for typesetting high energy particle names
+by Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+hepparticles is a set of macros for typesetting high energy
+particle names. It provides a robust (?) and consistent structure
+within which to typeset the names and along the way solves many
+problems with alignment and text styles which otherwise make
+themselves known.
+
+Chief amongst the problems solved by hepparticles is that the
+problems with boldness of particle names typeset in math mode
+when used in section titles, headers and tables of contents
+disappear. The typesetting convention by default uses upright
+names for "concrete" particles and italic type for generic
+particle labels but the convention can be specified at
+package-include time, making this package suitable for journal
+use.
+
+Fuller documentation for this package can be found in the files
+hepparticles.{ps,pdf}, distributed with the package and some
+examples (used for debugging) are in testhepparticles.{ps,pdf},
+with source code in testhepparticles.tex.
+
+You may also be interested in the heppennames and hepnicenames
+packages, which use this package to define a large set of
+common particle names.
