Text Formatting ⇒ thin space in any mode
thin space in any mode
The HyperText Help from comp.text.tex describes `\,' (backslash followed by a comma) as the command for typesetting a thin space. I have been using `\/' (backslash then forward slash), which typesets a thinner space. However, I searched around, could not find any documentation about `\/'. Is it something obsolete I should avoid in the future?

Re: thin space in any mode
Hi,
\/ inserts an "italic correction" after a character or a ligature. It inserts some space to compensate if a character is overhanging when the following text is not slanted or italic.
