Hi,
While at this topic: I am currently processing streaming XML and I need a way
to switch
to a font alternative without gobbling up following whitespace. With \bf in
plain TeX,
I would do this:
{\bf{} bla bla}
but with \bold (that I am told I should use instead), that doesn't work because
the empty
group becomes the argument. I now have
{\bold\relax{} bla bla}
but that is quite silly. Is there some official command to ‘fix' this issue?
