Hi,

Thanks a lot. Now I find this htab in the manual. However, is there a
vertical version of that?

Best wishes,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I believe you can achieve this by inserting 2 tabs and then 3 tabs,

Hi all,

I am not sure whether they correspond to the following functionality: for
example, I need to put two spaces, of length 2*l and 3*l like

x (2*l spaces) x (3*l spaces) x

Then the first x and the last x are at the left margin and the right margin,
and the l is calculated so that 5*l+(length of three x's) = 1par, for example.

This is realized by "x\hspace{\stretch2}x\hspace{\stretch3}x", if I am not
mistaken.

I am now trying to mimic some behavior of LaTeX because I plan to understand
whether it is possible to emulate this behavior in TeXmacs instead of
inserting a precompiled PDF from LaTeX. These kinds of stretches are not used
in main articles.

Best wishes,
Frank

All spaces are stretchable in TeXmacs;
you can specify a minimum, default, and maximum space.
There are also horizontal tabs.
Contrary to LaTeX, you can also have stretchable vertical spaces by the way,
which is useful for global page breaking (which LaTeX cannot do).
