Hi all,

I would like to use something like a "half-space" or small space in a situation where neither no space, nor a normal space is ideal.

You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.

Oddly enough, \, gives no comma and a normal space, \. gives no period and no space with mkiv, and a superscript period with mkii. Could these forms for \thinspace perhaps be obsolete?

I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a space between the command and the following character.

My mistake: I forgot to add a comma after \, ! \,, indeed works beautifully for my purpose. And thanks for the list of possibilities for spaces of various sizes. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
