A couple of latex (alignment) questions:
1. Can I get latex to skip some horizontal space (e.g. like
using \hspace), and where the width is not specified numerically
but by a string of characters for their actual widths.
2. Can I align the dashes in the foll:
\begin{itemize}
\item Group IV --- Si.
\item Group III-V --- GaAs.
\end{itemize}
3. How to align the decimal point in the foll:
\begin{tabular}
a & $-1.71$ \\
b & $0.123$ \\
The REVTEX package for physics manuscript has a \dec macro defined
