Why boldmath fails in a tikz node?












7















I think that probably boldmath is deprecated, although I can't find any "official" reference, but anyway:



documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
path (0,0) node[draw]{boldmath (+)} (1,1);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


Fails to compile with a strange:



! Package tikz Error: Giving up on this path. Did you forget a semicolon?.

See the tikz package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.6 path (0,0) node[draw]{boldmath (+)}
(1,1);
?


If I double the braces in the node, as



path (0,0) node[draw]{{boldmath (+)}} (1,1);


it works ok:



bold plus in a box



Is this expected behavior?

    I seem to recall that tikz only allows a certain number of expansions while looking for the ; and the full definition of boldmath is rather complicated so perhaps it is too much....

TikZ has the key font (as well as node font for such things) with which it works.



documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
path (1,0) node[draw,font=boldmath]{ (+)};
path (2,0) node[draw,node font=boldmath]{ (+)};
path (3,0) node[draw]{ (+)};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
