<p>Ordinarily, multiple whitespace characters (space, tab, and newline)
are collapsed into a single space.
</p>
<p>Occasionally, you may want to produce several consecutive spaces,
either for purposes of example (e.g., what your program does with
multiple spaces as input), or merely for purposes of appearance in
headings or lists. Texinfo supports three commands:
<code>@<kbd>SPACE</kbd></code>, <code>@<kbd>TAB</kbd></code>, and <code>@<kbd>NL</kbd></code>, all
of which insert a single space into the output. (Here,
<code>@<kbd>SPACE</kbd></code> represents an ‘<samp>@</samp>’ character followed by a
space, i.e., ‘<samp>@ </samp>’, <kbd>TAB</kbd> represents an actual tab character,
and <code>@<kbd>NL</kbd></code> represents an ‘<samp>@</samp>’ character and end-of-line,
i.e., when ‘<samp>@</samp>’ is the last character on a line.)
</p>
<p>For example,
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">Spacey@ @ @ @
example.
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">Spacey example.
</pre></div>
<p>Other possible uses of <code>@<kbd>SPACE</kbd></code> have been subsumed by
<code>@multitable</code> (see <a href="Multi_002dcolumn-Tables.html#Multi_002dcolumn-Tables">Multi-column Tables</a>).
</p>
<p>Do not follow any of these commands with braces.
</p>
<p>To produce a non-breakable space, see <a href="_0040tie.html#g_t_0040tie"><code>@tie</code></a>.
