Browser then manage with spaces and line-breaks. Following L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X behaviour, spaces after commands are not echoed. Spaces after invisible commands with arguments are not echoed either.</p><p>However this is no longer true in math mode, see section <a href="manual029.html#spacemathref">B.7.7</a> on spaces in math mode.</p> <h3 class="subsection" id="sec110">B.3.2  Paragraphs</h3> <p> New paragraphs are introduced by one blank line or more. Paragraphs are not indented. Thus the macros <code>\indent</code> and <code>\noindent</code> perform no action. Paragraph are rendered by <code>p</code> elements. In some occasions, this technique may produce spurious paragraphs (see <a href="manual005.html#spurious%3Apar">3.1.1</a>).</p> <h3 class="subsection" id="sec111">B.3.3  Footnotes</h3> <p> The commands <code>\footnote</code>, <code>\footnotetext</code> and <code>\footnotemark</code> (with or without optional arguments) are supported. The <code>footnote</code> counter exists and (re)setting it or redefining <code>\thefootnote</code> should work properly. When footnotes are issued by a combination of <code>\footnotemark</code> and <code>\footnotetext</code>, a <code>\footnotemark</code> command must be issued first, otherwise some footnotes may get numbered incorrectly or disappear. Footnotes appear at document end in the <em>article</em> style and at chapters end in the <em>book</em> style. See section <a href="cutname.html#hachafoot">7.3.6</a> for a description of how footnotes are flushed.</p> <h3 class="subsection" id="accents">B.3.4  Accents and special symbols</h3> <p> Thanks to Unicode character references, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A can virtually output any symbol. It may happen that H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A does not known about a particular symbol, that is, most of the time, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A does not known about a particular command. In that case a warning is issued to draw user attention. Users can then choose a particular symbol amongst the recognized ones, or as an explicit Unicode character reference (see Section <a href="manual006.html#square%3Ablob">4.2</a> for an example of this technique).</p><p>Commands for making accents used in non-English languages, such as <code>\'</code>, work when applied to accent-less (<em>i.e.</em> ascii) letters and that the corresponding accented letters exist in the Unicode character set. Otherwise, the argument to the command is not modified and a warning is issued. For instance, consider the following source code, where, after a legitimate use of acute accents, one attempt to put an accute accent over the letter “h”: </p><pre class="verbatim">``\'Ecole'' works as in \LaTeX, while ``\'h'' does not. </pre><p>H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A output will be “École” works as in L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X, while “h” does not. And a warning will be issued. </p><pre class="verbatim">./tmp.tex:3741: Warning: Application of '\'' on 'h' failed </pre><p>Observe that using input encodings is a convenient alternative to accent commands — see Section <a href="manual-packages.html#inputenc">B.17.4</a>.</p> <hr> <a href="manual024.html"><img src="previous_motif.gif" alt="Previous"></a> <a href="manual022.html"><img src="contents_motif.gif" alt="Up"></a> <a href="sectioning.html"><img src="next_motif.gif" alt="Next"></a> </body> </html>
