I assume that SP stands for space. Correct me if I'm wrong
After reading some of the manuals that mention \showmakeup with and without [spaces] and so forth, I couldn't find any more info related to this.
If anyone can provide me more information as to what does HK means there?
Anyhow
If I were to have, say, a control _word_ such as \TeX\, the sequence of TeX kerning is thrown off. The only remedy would be to have a a \qquad preceding the control sequence e.g., {\qquad \TeX\ significantly} to sort of ameliorate this side-effect. But then again. Spacing is off. e.g.,
The separation of any of these four components would have hurt {\qquad\TeX\ significantly}. If I had not participated fully in
But it's interesting that \showmakeup, kerning and spaces would display what's to be expected. And yet, the aformentioned set of
tSP:3.282 THK:-1.721 H__E X HK:-1.291 SP:3.282
is accurate nevertheless. And a very nice implementation at that, but one I fear can't be included on a final document either.
With that being said, the introduction of a \qquad, in addition to \showmakeup with, say, redundancy aside, whatever is preceding the \TeX\ alongside the file would also introduce a space where no space was ever there before.
Because of all of this, and unfortunately, \showmakeup is not quite helpful here either. Although it does so displays the amount of spaces and so forth, any addition of a \qquad also adds a very subtle unwanted space.
this is the space I referred to here. Please see the attached screenshot
And since we're looking here, I pressume, solely for accuracy and perfection, we're left here with neither: zero, zip. It evaporates.
