xspace example

Suppose you had the following macro,

 \newcommand{\apples}{AppLeS}

When used within text such as this:

 These statistics also show that the \apples scheduler

you would get the following:

These statistics also show that the AppLeSscheduler

Latex eats up the space between the macro and text. And if you do

 \newcommand{\apples}{AppLeS }

then you could get an extra space where you don't want it

In Chapter I, we defined a user-directed AppLeS .

The solution is the following which takes care of both cases:

 \newcommand{\apples}{\textsf{AppLeS}\xspace}
