<p>
 <tt>\hspace[*]{len}</tt>
<p>

 The <tt>\hspace</tt> command  adds horizontal  space.   The length of the space
 <tt>len</tt>
 can be expressed  in any terms that LaTeX understands,  i.e.,  points,
 inches, etc.  You can add negative  as well as positive  space with an
 <tt>\hspace</tt> command.  Adding negative space is like backspacing.
<p>

 LaTeX removes  horizontal  space that comes at the end of a line.   If
 you don't want LaTeX  to remove  this space,  include  the optional  *
 argument.  Then the space is never removed.
