QUAD is the abbreviation of quadrat. It comes from quadratus in Latin (Merriam-Webster). \quad and \qquad are macros defined by (La)TeX kernel: \def\quad{\hskip1em\relax} \def\qquad{\hskip2em\relax} For TeXicians, the unit “em” is one of the font dimensions. Say, \fontdimen6 of a font in TeX.
Feb 26, 2018 · A \quad corresponds to a length of 1em. In math mode, 1em=18mu. Use \mkern<n>mu, where <n> can be either a positive or a negative number, to exert very fine control over spacing. Note: no curly braces around <n>mu. To space ahead by half a quad while in math mode, simply write \mkern9mu. Two macros that provide standard abbreviations for math ...
360. There are many lengths in LaTeX. For instance, \enskip, \enspace, \quad, \parskip, \smallskip, ... Some of them are mostly used for vertical spacing, some others are mostly used for horizontal spacing, and perhaps some of them are used in both cases. I wonder whether there is a list that indicates the meaning and intended use of each ...
Em quad. Between a symbolic statement and a verbal expression in displayed expressions. Around conjunctions. Two-em quad. Between two separate equations or inequalities in the same line. Between a symbolic statement and a condition on the statement.
To me, \quad\text{or}\quad seems a bit more natural than \text{\quad or\quad} does... Addendum : As @PrzemysławScherwentl has demonstrated in a separate answer, it is possible -- say, through the use of a PlainTeX-type font-related instruction -- to create a setup in which the value of 1em is not the same in math and text mode.
Oct 9, 2012 · 1409. There are a number of horizontal spacing macros for LaTeX: \hphantom{<stuff>} inserts space of length equivalent to <stuff> in math or text mode. \phantom{<stuff>} is similar, inserting a horizontal and vertical space that matches <stuff>. Should be \protect ed when used in fragile commands (like \caption and sectional headings);
Aug 29, 2014 · 124. The command \tab exists, but it produces quite a large space. It also requires the use of the package tabto. Alternative options are \quad and \qquad; the space produced is probably more what you are looking to create. These commands do not require extra packages and can be stacked (e.g. Stuff Over Here \quad \quad \quad More Stuff Over ...
For LaTeX, horizontal spacing is achieved using \hspace{<len>} where <len> is a length (either positive or negative); TeX's equivalent to \hskip. Since \quad [\qquad] is equivalent to a horizontal skip of 1em [2em], use \hspace{-1em} [\hspace{-2em}] to obtain a negative space amount. \kern inserts a space depending on the mode that TeX is in ...
To use this in LyX, go first to Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble and add. \usepackage{algorithm} \usepackage{algpseudocode} In your document, add an ERT with Ctrl + L or Insert --> TeX code, and write the entire algorithm environment in this, e.g. \begin{algorithm}
6. A similar mistake might also be caused by something as simple as trying to build the wrong file (e.g. clicking a PDFLaTeX command while being in the "abstract" file, which is part of your document). You should be in your main file (where you call and "gather" all the "smaller" files) when you're building.
