\hspace
\hspace[*]{length}
The \hspace
command adds horizontal space. The length
argument can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands:
points, inches, etc. It is a rubber length. You can add both
negative and positive space with an \hspace
command; adding
negative space is like backspacing.
LaTeX normally removes horizontal space that comes at the beginning
or end of a line. To preserve this space, use the optional *
form.
