I want to define in LaTeX some words. For instance I have this long words: ''contemporaneamente''. So I can define \def\cont{contemporaneamente}. The problem is that it is not treated as normal text and so there is a problem in spacing.
If I write ''\cont bla bla'' the result is: ''contemporaneamentebla bla''. So I have to write ''\cont\ bla bla'' to obtain what I want.
I know also that in order to obtain what I want I can define \def\cont{contemporaneamente }. The problem in doing this is that when I want to put the word at the end of a sencence and I have to write ''\cont.'' the result is ''contemporaneamente .''
