Is there anything wrong with the simple approach of just adding \<space> after the command? For example: \newcommand{\T}{Mike} \T\ is \T. Which will give you: M

Mike is Mike.
- dfc 12y agoThe problem with hard coding the space is there are times it is not wanted/needed. I am stealing the following from xpsace documentation. Input with "\newcommand{\gb}{Great Britain\xspace}": \gb is a very nice place to live.\\ \gb, a small island off the coast of France.\\ \gb\footnote{The small island off the coast of France.} is a very nice place to live. Results in the output Great Britain is a very nice place to live. Great Britain, a small island o the coast of France. Great Britain[^1] is a very nice place to live.
- CJefferson 12y agoThere is nothing wrong, except I feel I shouldn't have to remember to make sure I do a \<space> after commands instead of just a space. Why should I have to remember where to put <space> and where to put \<space>, that's what computers are for!
