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