\section{Introduction}

Undoubtedly, \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} are excellent at
producing visually appealing mathematical expressions.
However, some commonly used macros produce output which
sometimes appears unbalanced under certain conditions.
Depending on the level of sophistication, such artefacts
are typically either ignored or fixed by some manual adjustments
wherever they appear.
This package addresses some of the issues
encountered commonly (by the author),
and provides fixes or additional macros to handle such situations.
At present the package is mainly concerned with:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item
spacing of fractions, roots and symbols
\item
alternative versions of fractions
\item
representation of (capital) Greek letters
\item
math symbols within bold text
\end{itemize}
%
Additional fixes and features may be added
to the package in later versions.
All of these features can be selected and customised
to some extent to accommodate for the desired style.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Usage}

To use the package \textsf{mathfixs} add the command
\begin{center}
|\usepackage{mathfixs}|
\end{center}
to the preamble of your \LaTeX{} document.
Furthermore you must select the desired features explicitly
as described below, otherwise the package will have no effect.
This is to avoid having to agree on
all the provided features and to allow for forward compatibility:
the package should remain open for future extensions
which may modify the default behaviour in an unintended fashion.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Package Features}

\DescribeMacro{\ProvideMathFix}
Features and options can be selected by the commands:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rl}
&|\usepackage[|\textit{opts}|]{mathfixs}|
\\
or&|\PassOptionsToPackage{|\textit{opts}|}{mathfixs}|
\\
or&|\ProvideMathFix{|\textit{opts}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
|\PassOptionsToPackage| must be used before |\usepackage|;
|\ProvideMathFix| must be used afterwards.
Note that if |\ProvideMathFix| is invoked within a block,
its definitions are valid only locally within the block.
\textit{opts} is a comma-separated list of features or options.
The available features and options are described below.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Fractions}

The package offers some improvements for the spacing of fractions
as well as definitions to typeset small rational numbers.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{frac}.}
\DescribeMacro{frac}
%
In many situations, \LaTeX{} typesets fractions with an
insufficient amount of surrounding space.
For example, the space between two consecutive fractions
almost make them appear as a single one:
%
\begin{center}
|x\frac{a+b}{c+d}\frac{e}{f}.|
\quad$\longrightarrow$\quad
$\displaystyle x\frac{a+b}{c+d}\frac{e}{f}.$
\end{center}
%
Also the space towards other symbols and punctuation marks
arguably is too small.
To make expressions more legible, sequences of fractions
are often coded with various custom spaces
(`|\,|', `|\:|', `|\;|', `|\ |', `|~|', etc.)
inserted, e.g.
%
\begin{center}
|x\,\frac{a+b}{c+d}\;\frac{e}{f}\ .|
\quad$\longrightarrow$\quad
$\displaystyle x\,\frac{a+b}{c+d}\;\frac{e}{f}\ .$
\end{center}
%
This looks better, but requires a lot of intervention
and depends very much on personal conventions.

The underlying technical reason for the shortcoming in spacing
around fractions
is that the latter are defined
to have the math class of ordinary objects (|\mathord|)
which results in no surrounding space.
A simple resolution is to assign the math class
of inner objects (|\mathinner|) to fractions
as described in the \textsf{\TeX{}book}, e.g.
%
\begin{center}
|x\mathinner{\frac{a+b}{c+d}}\mathinner{\frac{e}{f}}.|
\end{center}
%
Inner objects behave almost like ordinary objects,
but some space is added between them and
other inner or ordinary objects, e.g.:
%
\[
x\mathinner{\frac{a+b}{c+d}}\mathinner{\frac{e}{f}}.
\]
%
Importantly, no space is added between inner objects
and the ends of the math expression or subexpression in parentheses.
Also, no space is generated
in the script styles (|\|[|script|]|scriptstyle|).

\DescribeMacro{\frac}
The feature |frac| redefines the macro |\frac|
such that all fractions have the inner math class
producing some surrounding space in selected situations, e.g.:
%
\begin{center}
|x\frac{a+b}{c+d}\frac{e}{f}.|
\quad$\longrightarrow$\quad
$\displaystyle x\mathinner{\frac{a+b}{c+d}}\mathinner{\frac{e}{f}}.$
\end{center}
%
This makes adding custom space around fractions
unnecessary in almost all situations,
and leads to a rather uniform appearance
without further adjustments.

\DescribeMacro{\genfrac}
\DescribeMacro{\dfrac}
\DescribeMacro{\tfrac}
The macro |\genfrac| of the package \textsf{amsmath}
is modified suitably when the latter is loaded.
This also affects the macros |\dfrac| and |\tfrac| for fractions
in styles |\displaystyle| and |\textstyle|, respectively.
For |\genfrac| fractions with delimiters,
the inner math class is not applied
because the default math class is appropriate.

Note that when the |frac| feature is used,
spaces around fractions can be eliminated by using:
%
\begin{center}
|\mathord{\frac{|\textit{num}|}{|\textit{denom}|}}|
\end{center}
%
or simply (a block enclosed by braces |{|\ldots|}|
is considered an object with ordinary math class):
%
\begin{center}
|{\frac{|\textit{num}|}{|\textit{denom}|}}|
\end{center}
%
Furthermore, note that unlike the original macro |\frac|,
the redefined macro must be enclosed in a block
when passed as an argument. For example, |x^\frac{1}{2}|
produces an error and must be written as |x^{\frac{1}{2}}|.

\DescribeMacro{fracclass}
\DescribeMacro{fracdelimclass}
The option |fracclass=|\textit{class}
can be used to customise the math class of fractions
to any desired command \textit{class} accepting
the expression for the fraction as its single parameter.
Likewise, the option |fracdelimclass=|\textit{class}
customises the math class of fractions with delimiters
generated by |\genfrac| such as |\|[|d|$\vert$|t|]|binom|.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{rfrac}.}
\DescribeMacro{rfrac}
%
Rational numbers as coefficients to
some simple terms often stick out visually
from displayed math expressions, e.g.:
%
\[
\frac{1}{2}x^2 + \frac{1}{6} y^3 + \frac{1}{4} x^2 y^2
\]
%
Arguably, typesetting such fractions in text style
has a more uniform appearance:
%
\[
{\textstyle\frac{1}{2}}x^2
+ {\textstyle\frac{1}{6}} y^3
+ {\textstyle\frac{1}{4}} x^2 y^2
\]
%

\DescribeMacro{\rfrac}
The feature |rfrac| defines the macro |\rfrac|
to typeset a fraction in text style or smaller.
It is similar to |\tfrac| of the package \textsf{amsmath},
but it will not choose text style when in the script styles
and it will not produce surrounding space
when the feature |frac| is used.
The optional argument |rfrac={\|\textit{cmd}|}| specifies
an alternative command name |\|\textit{cmd} for |\rfrac|.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{vfrac}.}
\DescribeMacro{vfrac}
\DescribeMacro{\vfrac}
%
Common or vulgar fractions such as $^1\!/\!_2$
can be typeset in a simple fashion
as a superscript numerator followed by a slash
and a subscript denominator.
The spacing around the slash should be reduced
to join the expression.
The package provides this representation
as the feature |vfrac| defining the macro |\vfrac|.
It is similar to |\nicefrac| of the package \textsf{nicefrac}
or the more advanced implementation |\sfrac| of the package \textsf{xfrac}.
As vulgar fractions are often (mainly) used within plain text,
the macro |\vfrac| also works in text mode.
The optional argument |vfrac={\|\textit{cmd}|}| specifies
an alternative command name |\|\textit{cmd} for |\vfrac|.

\DescribeMacro{vfracclass}
\DescribeMacro{vfracskippre}
\DescribeMacro{vfracskippost}
The option |vfracclass=|\textit{class}
can be used to customise the math class of the vulgar fraction.
The options |vfracskippre=|\textit{muskip}
and |vfracskippost=|\textit{muskip}
defines the (negative) skip around the slash
(must be given in math units |mu|).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Roots}

The \TeX{} implementations of radicals, mostly those with exponents,
have some uneven spacing, e.g.:
%
\[
y\sqrt{x}z,\qquad
y\sqrt[]{x}z,\qquad
y\sqrt[i]{x}z,\qquad
y\sqrt[n]{x}z,\qquad
y\sqrt[3]{x}z,\qquad
y\sqrt[123]{x}z
\]
%
They work best if no exponent is specified
or if the exponent is a single numerical digit.
The spacing is slightly different if the exponent is $n$ or $i$.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{root}.}
\DescribeMacro{root}
\DescribeMacro{\sqrt}
\DescribeMacro{\root}
%
The package provides an alternative mechanism for the
placement of the exponent next to the radical.
It first measures the extents of the exponent
and the radical sign and then places them accordingly.
It also adds some space at the end of the radicand.
The refined definition produces the following representation
without further spacing adjustments
%
\[
y\sqrt{x\mskip2mu}z,\qquad
y\sqrt{x\mskip2mu}z,\qquad
y\mskip5mu
  \sqrt[{\makebox[0pt][r]{$\scriptscriptstyle i$}}]{x\mskip2mu}z,\qquad
y\mskip5mu
  \sqrt[{\makebox[0pt][r]{$\scriptscriptstyle n$}}]{x\mskip2mu}z,\qquad
y\mskip5mu
  \sqrt[{\makebox[0pt][r]{$\scriptscriptstyle 3$}}]{x\mskip2mu}z,\qquad
y\mskip-5mu
  \sqrt[123]{x\mskip2mu}z
\]
%

\DescribeMacro{rootclass}
\DescribeMacro{rootskipend}
\DescribeMacro{rootskippre}
\DescribeMacro{rootskippost}
The option |rootclass=|\textit{class}
can be used to customise the math class of the vulgar fraction.
The option |rootskipend=|\textit{muskip}
defines the additional skip at the end of the radicand
within the radical (must be given in math units |mu|).
The options |rootskippre=|\textit{muskip}
and |rootskippost=|\textit{muskip}
define additional skip around the radical.

\DescribeMacro{rootclose}
The option |rootclose| adds a closing mark
to the end of the top bar of radicals:
%
\[
\setbox0\hbox{$\sqrt{a\mskip2mu}$}\copy0\lower\fontdimen8\textfont3
\hbox{\vrule width\fontdimen8\textfont3 height \ht0 depth -0.8\ht0}
\]
%
The optional argument |rootclose=|\textit{height}
specifies the starting height with a default value of $0.8$.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Space Representing Multiplication Signs}

Mathematical expressions regularly omit explicit multiplication signs
between factors, e.g. $x^2yz$. All is well unless
some of the factors are compound expressions such as
$\Delta x$ or differentials $dx$ (or $\mathrm{d}x$)
where additional space is typically inserted by
commands like `|\,|'.

A simple method to declare (or define) compound expressions
with a suitable amount of surrounding space
is to encapsulate them in a |\mathinner| block, e.g.
%
\begin{center}
|12c\mathinner{\Delta x}\mathinner{\Delta y}z|
\quad$\longrightarrow$\quad
$12c\mathinner{\Delta x}\mathinner{\Delta y}$
\\
|\int x\mathinner{dx}|
\quad$\longrightarrow$\quad
$\displaystyle\int x\mathinner{dx}$
\end{center}
%
Importantly, |\mathinner| will not add any space
at the ends of an expression
(or a subexpression in parentheses).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{multskip}.}
\DescribeMacro{multskip}
\DescribeMacro{\.}
%
Furthermore, the package provides the feature |multskip|
to encode a space representing an omitted multiplication sign
by the short command `|\.|', e.g.:
%
\begin{center}
|12c\.\Delta x\.\Delta y\.z|
\qquad or\qquad
|\int x\.dx|
\end{center}
%
The macro `|\.|' produces some amount of space in math mode
(while retaining its original definition as an accent in text mode)
and by default it is equivalent to `|\,|'.
However, the macro `|\.|' is intended to describe this space unambiguously
as a multiplication sign.
In particular, the amount of space can be configured by
the option |multskip=|\textit{muskip} (given in math units |mu|),
or the command could be customised further
to a visually different representation.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Greek Letters}

\TeX{} defines Greek letters in math mode somewhat differently
from Latin letters. The following two features redefine
to the standard \TeX{} Greek letters.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{greekcaps}.}
\DescribeMacro{greekcaps}
%
Capital Greek letters are declared as operators instead of plain letters,
and therefore they are typeset in an upright shape.
To typeset them in italic shape
(as all the other letters representing variables)
one can use |\mathnormal|,
but this may be tedious if most capital Greek letters in a document
actually represent variables.

The feature |greekcaps| redefines the 11 capital Greek letters
|\Gamma|, |\Delta|, |\Theta|, |\Lambda|, |\Xi|, |\Pi|,
|\Sigma|, |\Upsilon|, |\Phi|, |\Psi| and |\Omega|
provided by \TeX{} to have a default italic shape.
Upright capital Greek letters remain accessible
by switching to the upright shape using |\mathrm|
or by declaring them as part of an operator,
e.g. |\operatorname| or |\DeclareMathOperator|
(package \textsf{amsmath}).

The optional argument |greekcaps=|\textit{pre} will
instead define the macros |\|\textit{pre}|Gamma|, etc.,
and keep the original definitions.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{greeklower}.}
\DescribeMacro{greeklower}
%
Lowercase Greek letters are fixed to the default math italic
font because (unfortunately) no upright counterparts exist
in the Compute Modern family of fonts.

The feature |greeklower| redefines the 23 lowercase Greek letters
|\alpha|, \ldots, |\omega|
as well as their 6 variants
|\varepsilon|, |\vartheta|, |\varpi|, |\varphi|, |\varrho| and |\varsigma|
defined by \TeX{}
to be elements of the regular math alphabet.
This allows them to be typeset in different font series
such as |\mathbold| described below.
However, when trying to cast them in upright shape
they will be typeset as altogether different symbols,
e.g. |\mathrm{\alpha}| becomes the ligature `ff'
which occupies the same slot in the \TeX{} font encodings OML vs.\ OT1.
Hence, some caution is needed when this feature is used.

The optional argument |greeklower=|\textit{pre} will
instead define the macros |\|\textit{pre}|alpha|, etc.,
and keep the original definitions.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Bold Fonts}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{autobold}.}
\DescribeMacro{autobold}
%
Sectioning commands such as |\chapter|, |\section|, |\paragraph|,
etc., but also |\maketitle| often change the font series to bold.
However, any math symbols contained in the titles
are typeset in the regular, non-bold series by default leading to
a non-uniform appearance or calling for further manual adjustments
using |\boldmath|.
One might argue that it is bad practice to have math symbols in titles
in the first place,
but this point of view perhaps does not apply universally.

\DescribeMacro{\bfseries}
\DescribeMacro{\mdseries}
The feature |autobold| overwrites the \LaTeX{} font commands
|\bfseries|, |\mdseries| as well as |\normalfont|
to automatically switch the math fonts to their bold version.
Derived commands such as |\section|, etc., will also
switch the math fonts to the bold series.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Feature \texttt{mathbold}.}
\DescribeMacro{mathbold}
\DescribeMacro{\mathbold}
%
The feature |mathbold| defines a bold italic math font |\mathbold|.
To typeset bold italic letters simply use |\mathbold{abc}|.
To make this work for lowercase Greek letters as well,
the feature |greeklower| must be activated.
The optional argument |mathbold={\|\textit{cmd}|}| specifies
an alternative command name |\|\textit{cmd} for |\mathbold|, e.g.
|mathbold={\mathbit}|.

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Spacing Adjustment for Roots.}
%
% Define some parameters for the improved root macros.
% |\mafx@root@close| stores the relative height
% where the closing bar for the radical starts;
% empty disables the closing bar.
% |\mafx@root@class| stores the math class for a root.
% |\mafx@root@endskip| stores space to be added after the radicant
% but within the radical in math units.
% |\mafx@root@preskip| and |\mafx@root@postskip| store space to be added
% before or after the radical sign:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\mafx@root@close=\@empty
\def\mafx@root@class{}
\def\mafx@root@endskip{0.6667\thinmuskip}
\def\mafx@root@preskip{0mu}

%    \end{macrocode}

% \macro{\sqrt}
% Replacement for |\sqrt| which passes an
% empty first argument instead of calling |\sqrtsign|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\mafx@sqrt{\@ifnextchar[\@sqrt{\@sqrt[]}}
\def\mafx@@sqrt[#1]{\root#1\of}
%    \end{macrocode}

% \macro{\root}
% Replacement for |\root| \ldots|\of|
% which stores the |\leftroot| and |\uproot| parameters
% specified in the exponent (see package \textsf{amsmath}).
% It does so by first storing them in global parameters
% and then converting them to local ones to avoid
% interference with nested radicals.
% As usual, the macro then passes on to |\r@@t|
% with |\mathpalette|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mafx@root#1\of{
  \setbox\rootbox\hbox{$\m@th\scriptscriptstyle{%
    \gdef\mafx@gleftroot{0}\gdef\mafx@guproot{0}%
    \def\leftroot##1{\gdef\mafx@gleftroot{##1}}%
    \def\uproot##1{\gdef\mafx@guproot{##1}}%
    #1}$}%
  \let\mafx@leftroot=\mafx@gleftroot%
  \let\mafx@uproot=\mafx@guproot%
  \mathpalette\r@@t}
%    \end{macrocode}

% The replacement for |\r@@t| typesets the radical by
% placing the exponent in an elevated box.
% First, select desirect math class:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mafx@r@@t#1#2{\mafx@root@class{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Determine the font selector for the current style:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifx#1\scriptstyle\let\mafx@tmp@fontsel=\scriptfont\else%
  \ifx#1\scriptscriptstyle\let\mafx@tmp@fontsel=\scriptscriptfont\else%
  \let\mafx@tmp@fontsel=\textfont\fi\fi%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Generate a radical with empty radicand in cramped style
% (see package \textsf{mathtools})
% at the desired height and depth and store in a box
% for subsequent measurements:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \sbox\z@{$\m@th#1\nulldelimiterspace=\z@\radical\z@{#2}$}%
  \setlength\dimen@{\ht\z@}%
  \ifx#1\displaystyle
    \addtolength\dimen@{-\fontdimen8\textfont3}%
    \addtolength\dimen@{-0.25\fontdimen5\textfont2}%
  \else
    \addtolength\dimen@{-1.25\fontdimen8\mafx@tmp@fontsel3}%
  \fi
  \setbox\z@=\hbox{$\m@th#1\sqrtsign{%
    \vrule width0pt height\dimen@ depth\dp\z@}$}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Shift to start of exponent box such that end
% will reside at 60\% of radical sign.
% Do not shift if exponent box is sufficiently wide:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \setlength\dimen@{-\wd\rootbox}%
  \addtolength\dimen@{0.6\wd\z@}%
  \ifdim\dimen@>0pt\else\setlength\dimen@{0pt}\fi%
  \kern\dimen@%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Compute elevation of exponent box as 60\% of radical sign.
% Add length specified by |\uproot|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \setlength\dimen@{0.6\ht\z@}\addtolength\dimen@{-0.6\dp\z@}%
  \setbox\@ne\hbox{$\m@th#1\mskip\mafx@uproot mu$}%
  \addtolength\dimen@{\wd\@ne}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Place exponent box and return to intended start of radical sign:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \mkern-\mafx@leftroot mu%
  \raise\dimen@\copy\rootbox%
  \mkern\mafx@leftroot mu%
  \kern-0.6\wd\z@%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Place radical adding extra kernings |\mafx@root@preskip| and
% |\mafx@root@endskip|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \mkern\mafx@root@preskip\sqrtsign{#2\mskip\mafx@root@endskip}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Add a closing bar to the radical,
% see \url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics}.
% If |\mafx@root@close| is empty, ignore.
% Determine the thickness of the rule as font dimension x8.
% Draw a vertical rule starting from relative height |\mafx@root@close|
% of the radical:
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifx\mafx@root@close\@empty\else%
  \setlength\dimen@{\fontdimen8\mafx@tmp@fontsel3}%
  \lower\dimen@\hbox{%
    \vrule width\dimen@ height\ht\z@ depth -\mafx@root@close\ht\z@}%
