# Whitespace

Before continuing, let me say a few words about whitespace. In virtually all cases, superfluous whitespace in command strings has been deleted. For example, objects inserted with insertObject (a sizable portion of `latex.tcl`'s functionality) do not routinely insert a trailing space character. Instead, the user must decide whether or not space should immediately follow a particular LaTeX control word, since sometimes it's needed and sometimes it's not. Setting indentOnCR in the Flags dialog (on the Global submenu of the Config menu) to false also prevents a lot of extraneous whitespace from being inserted into your document...but then it won't look so good!
