LaTeX Commands

A LaTeX command begins with the command name, which consists of a  \  followed by either (a) a string of letters or (b) a single non-letter. Arguments contained in square brackets [] are optional while arguments contained in braces {} are required.

NOTE: LaTeX is case sensitive. Enter all commands in lower case unless explicitly directed to do otherwise.

• \<space> (force ordinary space)
• \@ (following period ends sentence)
• \\ (new line)
• \, (thin space)
• \; (thick space, math mode)
• \: (medium space, math mode)
• \! (negative thin space, math mode)
• \- (hyphenation; tabbing)
• \= (set tab, see tabbing)
• \> (tab, see tabbing)
• \< (back tab, see tabbing)
• \+ (see tabbing)
• \' (accent or tabbing)
• \` (accent or tabbing)
• \| (double vertical lines, math mode)
