All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Code

public class Space
extends AbstractCode

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \ .

The Primitive \

This primitive inserts an explicit space into the current list. This has an effect in horizontal or restricted horizontal modes only. In other modes it has no effect.

In contrast to a normal space it is not collapsed with adjacent spaces of any kind. This means that several invocation in row add up extra space. This is not recommended. See the macro \hskip instead.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨space primitive⟩
        → \   

Examples

    123\ 456  

    123\ \  456

This method takes the first token and executes it. The result is placed on the stack. This operation might have side effects. To execute a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

execute in interface Code

Overrides:

execute in class AbstractCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
