Hi to all,
my clumsy way to do it is to :
1) add a space after log 
2) press the left arrow to bring the cursor back one step 
3) type |x|
4) remove the unwanted space when I can’t repress the need.

I also use the space trick when I add text before a math formula and the 
added text also contains math that would otherwise automatically join the 
first math formula, which is not convenient when you want text in between.
$11111$  ——>   aaaaa $2222$ bbbbb $11111$    to prevent    aaaaa $222211111$

Not sure I’m very clear.

Have a good day.
Julien
