+<h1><font size="-2">Hypertext Help with LaTeX</font><br><font color="#cc0000">tabbing</font></h1>
+<p><pre>
+ \begin{tabbing}
+ text \= more text \= still more text \= last text \\
+ second row \&gt; \&gt; more \\
+ ....
+ ....
+ \end{tabbing}
+</pre>
+ The tabbing environment provides a way to align text in columns. It
+ works by setting tab stops and tabbing to them much the way you do
+ with an ordinary typewriter.
+<p>
+ The <a href="ltx-68.html">tabular</a> environment also aligns text in
+ columns, but there are several important differences.
+ <ul>
+ <li> The tabular environment can be used in any <a href="ltx-130.html">mode</a>
+ whereas the tabbing environment can be used only in paragraph
+ <a href="ltx-130.html">mode</a> and it starts a new paragraph.
+<p>
+ <li>The tabular
+ environment generates a box, which LaTeX treats as one (albeit very large)
+ letter; it cannot be split across pages. A long tabbing environment can
+ be split across pages.
+<p>
+ <li>The width of columns in a tabular environment is determined automatically
+ by LaTeX; in the tabbing environment this is done by setting tab stops.
+</ul>
+<H2>Tabbing commands</H2>
+<ul>
+<li><A href="ltx-187.html"><tt>\=</tt></A> (set tab)
+<li><A href="ltx-188.html"><tt>\&gt;</tt></A> (advance to next tab stop)
+<li><A href="ltx-189.html"><tt>\&lt;</tt></A>
+<li><A href="ltx-190.html"><tt>\+</tt></A> (indent; move margin right)
+<li><A href="ltx-182.html"><tt>\-</tt></A> (unindent; move margin left)
+<li><A href="ltx-191.html"><tt>\'</tt></A>
+<li><A href="ltx-192.html"><tt>\`</tt></A>
+<li><a href="ltx-181.html"><tt>\\</tt></a> (end of line; newline)
+<li><A href="ltx-251.html"><tt>\kill</tt></A> (ignore preceding text; use only
+ for spacing)
+</ul>
+The <a href="ltx-241.html"><tt>\hspace</tt></a> command is useful for
+controlling horizontal space in the tabbing environment.
+<p>
+Note that the commands <tt>\=</tt>, <tt>\'</tt>, and <tt>\`</tt>
+normally produce <a href="ltx-401.html">accents</a> over the subsequent
+letter. These commands are redefined in the tabbing environment;
+in this environment it is possible to get the accents by using
+<tt>\a=</tt>, <tt>\a'</tt>, and <tt>\a`</tt>, respectively.
