name maybemath category Package shortdesc Make math bold or italic according to context. longdesc The \maybebm and \maybeit macros can be used in math expressions longdesc to make the arguments typeset as bold or italic respectively if longdesc the surrounding context is appropriate. They are useful for longdesc writing user macros for use in general contexts. \maybebm is longdesc especially appropriate when section titles contain math longdesc expressions, since the title will appear bold but the header and longdesc table of contents usually replicate the title in normal width. It longdesc uses the bm package to make things bold \maybeit performs a longdesc similar role to \mathrm{} but the math expression will be longdesc italicised if the surrounding text is. \maybeitsubscript is longdesc provided to shift subscripts to the left if the expression is longdesc italicised.
