I'm quite sure that someone will tell me this is exactly how Latex is
supposed to behave, but I think it is really stupid.
I defined a new command:
\newcommand{\acp}{analyze\_critical\_path }
I put the final space inside the {} so that when I used it in a
sentence, there would be a space separating it from the next word (ie:
so I didn't get analyze_critical_pathfollowed without space like
this.)
With the following source code:
some random text here which uses \acp, and then some more random text.
LaTeX produced the output:
some random text here which uses analyze_critical_path
, and then some more random text.
In other words, it started a line with a comma!! ACK! GAG!! GROSS!! I
thought this was a document preparation system...
