The following is a STARTING POINT for editing guidelines (TO BE DISCUSSED): 0) Editing etiquette: - Learn and follow this style guide. - Ensure all of your edits do not generate new compilation errors. - Other than fixing obvious typos and style errors, please restrict your editing to your own subsection. - If you have substantial comments or editing suggestions on a section that is not your own, please send them by email to that section's editing team, or raise them at an editing meeting. 1) Spelling and punctuation: - We use AE conventions instead of BE. [including quotation marks and footnote placement, i.e., "text," and text.\footnote{} or text,\footnote{}] - The abbreviations "e.g." and "i.e." are lower case, not italicized, and followed by a comma. - We use the Harvard/Oxford/serial comma. - Relative clauses are enclosed in commas and use "which" if descriptive (can be removed without changing the meaning), while relative clauses with "that" are an essential part of the entire sentence and not separated by commas. 2) Hyphenations: - A hyphen should be used when two (or more) words make a single compound adjective. - No hyphen is used when the word is negated, e.g., "nonperturbative." - Minus signs are to be set in math mode $-$. - Author compounds use -- (to avoid confusion in cases like Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner relation) and the same in scattering reactions (to avoid confusion in cases like charged-pion--proton scattering). There is a shortcut \hyph that defines this. - Ranges, e.g., $1\hyph 10$ also use --. - Parenthetical remarks can be separated by --- (without any further spaces). 3) Spacings: - Use space \, between end of equations and following punctuation - Use the non-breaking space ~ between values and units so that units always appear on the same line as the values. 4) References: - Use labels from https://inspirehep.net/ whenever available. - If a reference is not available on Inspire, check if it already exists in the bibliography, and only if not add a new entry with a label of your choosing. 5) References to sections, appendices, figures, and tables are organized via the \cref package to have all references uniform (at the beginning of sentences use \Cref to avoid abbreviations). 6) Citations use Ref.~\cite{} or Refs.~\cite{} if used in constructions such as "as shown in Ref.~\cite{}" or "see Refs.~\cite{}," but not in cases such as "This point was made previously~\cite{}." 7) Tables are to be set using booktabs, with \toprule, \midrule, and \bottomrule to mark horizontal lines. Vertical lines are not allowed. 8) Math formatting: - Display of errors: x(y), not x \pm y - Scientific notation: x \times 10^{-y}, not x \cdot 10^{-y} - Logarithm: \log, not \ln - Traces: Tr not tr - Differentials: d not \text{d} - 3-vectors are displayed as \mathbf{}, not \vec{} - Do not start a sentence with a number or a math symbol. 9) Conventions for hadron masses (TO BE COMPLETED): PDG uses capitalized masses for bosons (M_H, M_W, M_Z) but not for fermions (m_t, m_e). We follow this convention for gauge bosons and the Higgs (since they are used in e.g. Lagrangians), but elsewhere we avoid the use of capital M since it is used for NME. - Captialized: M_H, M_W, M_Z - Not capitalized: pion (m_\pi), nucleon (m_N), ... 10) Convention for pion decay constant: F_\pi = 92.3 MeV (f_\pi = \sqrt{2} F_\pi is also allowed) 11) Frequently occurring abbreviations are defined via Macros defined in "command_list.tex" to ensure consistent use. Macros should be added to the list when: - they are used in multiple sections - there are multiple conventions in the literature - they are sufficiently complex that typos are likely 12) Pluralization of acronyms does not use an apostrophe (NMEs not NME's).
