I find that if I typeset $3 q$
, I find the 3 and the q a bit too close to each other. I know that I can manually add a thin space by typing: $3 \, q$
.
However, I was wondering if there was a way to automate this, i.e. that every time a number precedes a variable, a thin space is added.
In other words I would like a thin space to be automatically added in
$5 q$
, but not in$5 7$
.And is it possible to have added in
$p q$
too? Do you recommend such practice between two variables that are multiplied? (I don't want to use\cdot
as it clutters the display.)
