Ref | Mbox Meson

You need to tell Meson how to compile your feature.

Root meson.build: Define the project, compiler flags, and dependencies.

project('mbox', 'c',
  version : '0.1.0',
  default_options : ['warning_level=3', 'c_std=c11'])

  • Implementation notes:
  • Problem: You wrote \mboxmeson ref outside of math mode but forgot the $ or \( \). Fix: Always use \mbox inside $...$ or \[...\]. mbox meson ref

    | Command | Package | Use Case for Meson Reference | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | \mbox... | Built-in | Short pieces of text inside math; does not adjust font size in subscripts. | | \text... | amsmath | Preferred for multi-word text (e.g., "meson ref"); adjusts size in sub/superscripts. | | \mathrm... | Built-in | Upright math symbols; good for unit labels (e.g., \mathrmMeV) but not for full phrases. |

    Recommendation: For "meson ref", use \textmeson ref from the amsmath package. You need to tell Meson how to compile your feature

    \usepackageamsmath
    ...
    \[
    E = \textmeson ref.  \Lambda_c^+
    \]
    

    In scientific computing, .ref files store metadata references (e.g., to external datasets). Not directly MBOX/Meson.

    \[
    E = m \cdot \mboxtext inside math
    \]
    

    Without \mbox, LaTeX would treat each letter as a variable (italicized, with math spacing). With \mbox, the text appears as standard roman (upright) type. Implementation notes:

    Problem: \mboxD_s^*+ yields "Ds*+" without proper subscripts or superscripts because _ and ^ are disabled in text mode. Fix: Use \mathrmD_s^*+ for upright particle names if needed, or keep it in plain math mode: D_s^*+.
