Text Formatting ⇒ \mbox issue

[rado]

The command

\mbox{...}

simply doesn't work for me. After compiling, there are no errors, but there is simply no box, only the text specified in the brackets, "...", is visible.

Any hints?

\mbox{...} isn't supposed to produce a visible box. It's just used to keep its content together so that, e.g., it isn't split at the end of a line, column or page.

Perhaps you meant \fbox{...}?

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for.

I misinterpreted the usage of \mbox.
