The amount  of blank space in  a line can be  varied by the \horizontalspace
markup.   This markup works only  within the current line;  no space will be
carried over if too little remains at the end of the line.

\hs{24pt}and move apart
\hs{18pt}like continental plates

    �|Notes:�%
\horizontalspace can be used in \settabs and \halign.
    If  you are  using  \monospace,  then  the units  of  measure  should be
specified in tenths of an inch or in em's.
