   `\hspace[*]{length}'

   The `\hspace' command adds horizontal space.  The length of the
space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands, i.e.,
points, inches, etc.  You can add negative as well as positive space
with an `\hspace' command.  Adding negative space is like backspacing.

   LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a line.  If
you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional `*'
argument.  Then the space is never removed.
