Selection commands

There are no commands for selecting symbol fonts. Instead, these are selected indirectly through symbol commands like \oplus. Section 3.6 explains how to define symbol commands.

\mathnormal{<math>}
\mathcal{<math>}
\mathrm{<math>}
\mathbf{<math>}
\mathsf{<math>}
\mathit{<math>}
\mathtt{<math>}

Each math alphabet is a command which can only be used inside math mode. For example, $x + \mathsf{y} + \mathcal{Z}$ produces $x +
\mathsf{y} + \mathcal{Z}$.


\mathversion{<version>}

This command selects a math version; it can only be used outside math mode. For example, \boldmath is defined to be \mathversion{bold}.
