Date: August 7, 2021 9:21:22 PM CEST
Ziyue Xiang submitted the smart-eqn package. Version: 1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Automatic math symbol styling for LaTeX documents Announcement text:
In LaTeX typesetting, it is usually the case that one needs to use different variants of a math symbol to clarify the meanings. For example, in linear algebra literature, it is common to use boldfaced symbols to represent vectors, and normal symbols to represent scalars. However, applying these variants by typing \mathbf, \mathrm commands manually can be daunting. The smart-eqn package aims to provide an automatic and customizable approach for math symbol styling, which eliminates the need to enter style commands repeatedly.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/smart-eqn The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/smart-eqn/
