%
% The \pkg{mathscinet} packages provides definitions for certain
% commands that occasionally occur in bibliographic data exported
% from MathSciNet and that are not provided by \latex/.
%
% \textbf{Warning:} Although the macros provided in this package
% are probably acceptable if all you need to do is format an entry
% downloaded from MathSciNet, they should probably not be used for
% other purposes. In general, if you are trying to typeset
% material in any languages that require these characters, you are
% better off using specialized fonts and encodings for those
% languages.
%
% All Unicode character references are taken from \emph{The Unicode
% Standard, Version~3.0} (Addison-Wesley, 2000).

% \subsection{Miscellaneous diacritics (aka Frankenstein's\\
% diacritics)}
%
% \begin{macro}{\save@sf}
% When putting together an accented character from bits and pieces,
% the |\spacefactor| of the base character often gets lost in the
% shuffle. We use essentialy the same technique as |\add@accent|
% to save and restore the spacefactor, but we wrap in in a pair of
% macros for convenience.
% \begin{macrocode}
\def\save@sf{%
\ifmmode\else\global\mathchardef\accent@spacefactor\spacefactor\fi
}
% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\restore@sf}
% And here's the corresponding restore.
% \begin{macrocode}
\def\restore@sf{\ifmmode\else\spacefactor\accent@spacefactor\fi}
% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@underaccent}
% This is perhaps the most interesting macro in this package (which
% admittedly isn't saying much). It attempts to convert a character
% (usually one of the standard above-letter diacritics like~\"{})
% into an underhanging diacritic (like~\dudot{\hbox to
% .5em{\hss}}). This is similar in spirit to the way that the
% \enc{OT1} \cn{b} command converts a macron into a bar-under
% accent, or the way that \cn{d} converts a period into an
% underhanging dot. However, the technique used here is a little
% more complicated and, hopefully, a little more general, in the
% sense of requiring fewer ad-hoc parameters. It only contains one
% magic constant (.2\,ex), which seems to provide reasonable
% results for all of the Computer Modern fonts.
%
% The basic algorithm is as follows:
%
% \begin{enumerate}
%
% \item
% Create a box~$B$ containing the base character at its natural
% height, depth, and width.
%
% \item
% Create a box~$d$ consisting of the diacritic centered in a space
% equal to the width of~$B$.
%
% \item
% Lower box~$d$ by the sum of its height (to bring the top of~$d$
% down to the baseline) plus the depth of $B$ (to bring the top
% of~$d$ down to the bottom of~$B$) plus .2\,ex (to provide the
% spacing between the bottom of the letter and the top of the
% diacritic). Call the new box~$d'$.
%
% \item
% Create a new box~$C$ by superimposing boxes $B$ and~$d'$.
%
% \item
% If the height of~$d$ was greater than 1\,ex, reset the depth of
% box~$C$ to the sum of the depth of~$B$ and 1\,ex less than the
% height of~$d$. (See the appendix for a discussion of this step.)

% underspacing of the \cs{udot} accent will differ from that of the

% choose the latter, course, \cn{d} and \cn{udot} will

% \section*{\raggedright Appendix: Plumbing the depths of
% underhanging diacritics: Notes on the magic constant 0.2\,ex and
% an exegesis of certain obscure corners of the \cn{@underaccent}
% macro}
%
% \tex/ assumes that a combining accent can be superimposed
% directly on top of any character whose height is 1\,ex. If the
% actual height of the base character differs from 1\,ex, the
% accent is shifted up or down to maintain the same vertical
% separation. Put another way, subtracting 1\,ex from the height
% of a combining accent tells us how much a character's height is
% increased when that accent is added. Call this
% distance~$\delta$.
%
% This distance can be analyzed into two pieces: $\delta = \sigma +
% \eta$, where $\sigma$ is the separation between the top of
% the base character and the \emph{bottom} of the accent, and
% $\eta$ is the height of the bounding box of the accent.
%
% If we now consider moving the accent to the bottom of a
% character, we have a new relation $\delta' = \sigma' + \eta$,
% where $\sigma'$ is the distance between the bottom of the base
% and the \emph{top} of the accent, and $\delta'$ is the amount by
% which the depth of the base character is increased.
%
% If the placement of the underhanging version of an accent were
% strictly symmetrical with the overhanging version, then we would
% have $\sigma' = \sigma$ and thus $\delta' = \delta$. However, the
% placement is not symmetric since for aesthetic reasons we have
% chosen to set $\sigma' = .2\,\mathrm{ex}$, which seems in general
% to be a little less than the corresponding~$\sigma$.
% Unfortunately, this means we can't calculate~$\delta'$ accurately
% since there is no way to deduce $\eta$ (or, equivalently,
% $\sigma$) from the font metric information available to us
% within~\TeX.\footnote{By exploiting symmetries present in some
% fonts, one can calculate $\eta$ for some of the accents in those
% fonts, but this doesn't help us much since both $\sigma$
% and~$\eta$ vary between accents.}
%
% This leaves us in a bit of a bind, since it means there is no way
% to calculate the depth accurately. In despair, I've decided just
% to pretend that $\delta' = \delta$ for now.
