ParagraphParagraph

x : center, flushleft, flushright default: justified Put the “~” symbol or “\nolinebreak” between

TabbingTabbing
…lets you set your own column Tabs :
Commands :
\= : to define a Tab setting \> : to move to a Tab setting \\ : ends each Row
example :example :
\begin{tabbing} \= \hspace*{.1in} \= \hspace*{.3in} \= \kill\> a)
\> \> Find the powersets and the cardinal numbers of the
following Sets : \\ \> \> \> A = \O , \\ \> \> \> B = \{0,1\} , \\ \> \> \> C = \{1,\{2\}\}, \\
\> \> \> D = \{$x | x = \{ y | y > 0 \wedge y < 4 \} \wedge |x| = 1 \wedge y \in N$\}, \\
\> \> \> E = $C \cap D$ \\\end{tabbing}
Sometimes we do not want to have the longest portion of text first, yet it is needed to define the tab. The above figure illustrates how this is solved with the \kill command. In the first tabbing, the lines are in the order we want,but the tab is set by the shorter string ‘1-3’, making ‘4-6-8’ extend past the tab. The second tabbing puts the longer field first, in order to set the tab correctly, then specifies \kill instead of \\ to suppress (or “kill”) the printing of the line.

In text: \includegraphics{ picture.eps }
Only .eps format!!!
We think that the best EPS produces is Corel.
