\begin{tabbing} text \= more text \= still more text \= last text \\ second row \> \> more \\ .... .... \end{tabbing}The tabbing environment provides a way to align text in columns. It works by setting tab stops and tabbing to them much the way you do with an ordinary typewriter.
The tabular environment also aligns text in columns, but there are several important differences.
\=
(set tab)
\>
(advance to next tab stop)
\<
\+
(indent; move margin right)
\-
(unindent; move margin left)
\'
\`
\\
(end of line; newline)
\kill
(ignore preceding text; use only
for spacing)
The
\hspace
command is useful for
controlling horizontal space in the tabbing environment.
Note that the commands \=
, \'
, and \`
normally produce accents over the subsequent
letter. These commands are redefined in the tabbing environment;
in this environment it is possible to get the accents by using
\a=
, \a'
, and \a`
, respectively.
