Why does TeX and LaTeX behave seemingly unexpected with spaces after commands? We will have a look how the TeX engine treats whitespace. The package xspace.sty offers a convenient way to regulate this for own macro definitions.
Learn about the way TeX is working inside, and about algorithmic solutions for typographical problems.
Language: English or German, to the audience's taste.
