About \newcommand

[Gregory Gamble]

> Hello! I have written an article, and habitually I use \newcommand for some words commonly write and with emphasis. For example \newcommand{\gnr}
> {\emph{género}}, but the problem is when I call the command and then compile because in the pdf the word género appears together to the next word, ie:
> (in .tex file)
> El \gnr puede definirse ....
> (in .pdf file compiled)
> El géneropuede definirse .... (can not show emphatic word género) Also occur without emphatic or without LaTeX command.
> As you can see, appears together with the words género and puede, how can you do it to separate the words?
> Not works fine if I define \newcommand{\gnr}{\emph{género }}, ie with a space final because may occur that I write a comma or dot.

Dear Dario,

Either always put the \gnr in curly braces:  {\gnr}
or in the cases where you intend to follow \gnr with a space, do it with \<space> ... as in: \gnr\ puede
