Text Formatting

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make tabs in the beginning of the line. Something like:
[gap]sorts real, vector, bool
[gap]ops create: real x real -> vector
[gap][gap] add:[gap] vector x vector -> vector
[gap][gap] scalar: [gap] vector x vector -> real
...
...
I know how to make gaps between letters, but how does it work here?
Sorry if i'm asking something that's already been answered.
Cheers,
wugi

Hello Wugi,

welcome to the forum!

There are some commands for inserting spacing, such as \hspace*{1cm}, but I guess you like to have tabs with alignment.

Try the tabbing environment. It's explained with example here: Creating tables with LaTeX. It's from the book I wrote, so it's the first link I could find.

Perhaps also look here: tabbing reference in the LaTeX manual.

Could not open it at first, from the slow hotel WiFi

I should split that page in better manageable pieces.
