({{, (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox])[{(Subscript[box, 1]),(Subscript[box, 2]),…}]
is a low-level box construct that represents a row of boxes or strings in a notebook expression. }})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

(RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) is generated by functions like (RefLink[Row, paclet:ref/Row]). Except for low-level notebook expression manipulation, (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) should not need to be used directly.

(RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) objects are generated automatically to correspond to each operator and its operands in input given as \(input\).

The default arrangement of (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) objects in \(input\) is based on operator precedence. Additional   \(…\) can be inserted like parentheses to specify different arrangements of (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) objects.

The boxes or strings in a (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) are output in a row with their baselines aligned.

In (RefLink[InputForm, paclet:ref/InputForm]), (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) objects are output using \(…\).

In (RefLink[StandardForm, paclet:ref/StandardForm]), explicit (RefLink[RowBox, paclet:ref/RowBox]) objects are output literally. You can use (RefLink[DisplayForm, paclet:ref/DisplayForm]) to see the display form of such objects.
