Doxygen latex formulas eating space

Question

I have been using @f$\\langle PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT \\rangle@f$ to produce documentation that should result in pdf output of <PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT> .

However it is actually resulting in <PROGRAMMESSAGEUNIT> . How do I get it to stop eating the spaces?

Answer 1

Turns out my google query on this was a bit off. As I've put these in as formulas latex tries to decide it's own spacing, thus it needs to be forced:

\\; = thick space, \\: = thin space

Update: Just found that I can use markdown back ticks to enclose the angle brackets and avoid the tex altogether. Yay.
