Space at end of monospace string?

Space at end of monospace string?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

I'm writing a beamer presentation and have the followoing

   - =--nodes=2=  $\Rightarrow$ 2 /or more/ nodes
   - =--nodes=2-4=  $\Rightarrow$ 2 to 4 nodes

It would be nice to have the arrows line up, but doing =--nodes=2  =
obviously doesn't work.

Is there a simple solution to this problem?

Cheers,

Loris

If you want things to line up, I would recommend using either tables
(e.g. with \Rightarrow as column separator specified in the table
attributes) or one of the aligned equation environments in LaTeX with
\mbox or \textrm for the actual text elements.  Using font spacing is
always going to be messy...

The OP can also use a spacing entity, e.g., \nbsp.
