Space after Symbol printed by a Command

Post by 7788 »

Hi,

I am not sure where to look. I need a space after this sentence:

Code: Select all

The BA\textregistered  consists of ...
but the output shows
The BA®consists of ...
What is the command for putting a space before the word "consists"?

thanks very much

Try:

Code: Select all

The BA\textregistered\ consists of..
A backslash followed by a space will always generate a space, even in places where LaTeX would otherwise ignore a space (such as after a command).

If you want to avoid the need for that, think about using the xspace package.
