title: How to set tab stops after whitespaces in LaTeX?
body: <p>I'm trying to set tab stops in LaTeX in the tabbing environment. My problem is that I want to set a tab stop after a number of whitespaces. The problem is that LaTeX of course ignores multiple whitespaces, and it seems to only support setting tab stops after actual text.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to be able to do is format the arrows below so that they line up together. </p>
  
  <pre><code>A   -&gt; B
  CD  -&gt; A 
  BDD -&gt; F
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that the extra spaces after the characters on the left of the arrows are ignored for the purposes of setting the tab stop. What is the solution?</p>
