\subsection{\texttt{hspace}}
The \texttt{hspace} command will allow you to insert a horizontal space in any unit understood by \LaTeX{}.
\begin{Verbatim}[]

\subsection{Single Horizontal Spaces}
Spacing commands can be found in math mode, but most of the ones in the table below can be used in text mode if you load the \texttt{amsmath} package.
Spacing commands can be found in math mode, but most of the ones in the table below can be used in text mode if you load the \texttt{amsmath} package. Some of the commands below will \textit{only} work in math mode as shown in the ``code'' column.\footnote{For more information, see \kref{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74353/what-commands-are-there-for-horizontal-spacing}{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74353/what-commands-ar\\e-there-for-horizontal-spacing}.}
