\small - \small
- Ex.: $$\small~3x$$ gives

\hspace{n} - inserts a space of n pixels
- Ex.: $$f(x)\hspace{6}=\hspace{6}0$$ gives
- can be combined with the preceding command \unitlength{m}(default: m=1px) , which defines the applied unit
- Ex.: $$\unitlength{20}a\hspace{2}b$$ gives
, i.e. a space of 20x2=40px |
