Syntax .em number.spaces
Category Output Processor
Type Command
Description inserts spaces in output text and is dependent on the printer type.

"number.spaces" is a spatial insertion parameter and has set possible values (0,1,2...). This is used for exact spatial alignment on LASER printers.

".em number.spaces" inserts a "number.spaces-to-the-em" space. One "em" equals the width of the space character, i.e., "1-to-the-em" is one space character, "2-to-the-em" is one-half of a space character, and  "0-to-the-em" is one-tenth of a space character.

The effect this command has on the output text is dependent upon the type of printer being used.
