To force a space in LaTex
In just a few steps, you can force a space in LaTex. We show you different possibilities and variations.
- You can write it directly behind the desired number, a Backslash, and then press the spacebar. The space character has been inserted in the Overview.
- If you characters want a short blank, write them directly after the Backslash, a semicolon, a comma or a colon.
- For four spaces, you write it directly behind the Backslash "quad" and eight blank characters "qquad". Be sure to omit the quotation marks.
- You want to specify the space character itself, write "hspace*{}" without the quotation marks and add between the curly brackets the desired distance, for example 0.3 cm.
