I have the following code:



newpage
addcontentslinetocchapterNotations
chapter*Notations
Note: Some of these notations appear as a subscript in the thesis work.bigskip

textbfRoman upper case letters\
textitBBhspace1cmBollinger Band(s)

bigskip

textbfRoman lower case letters\
textitnhspace1cmNumber of days


Which yields the following output:
enter image description here



However I am trying to find an alternative to hspace so that the output after the notation the description of notation should be vertically aligned such as:



enter image description here



Question: Is there any alternative approach to vertical align text after horizontal spacing?

          I suggest using the glossaries package which is meant for creating such acronym lists.



          A quick solution for your specific problem would be defining a new command that puts each notation symbol into a box of fixed width:



          documentclassarticle

          newcommandnotation[2]makebox[1cm][l]textit#1#2

          begindocument
          parindent=0pt

          section*Notations
          Note: Some of these notations appear as a subscript in the thesis work.bigskip

          textbfRoman upper case letters\
          notationBBBollinger Band(s)

          bigskip

          textbfRoman lower case letters\
          notationnNumber of days

          enddocument

          yaou may consider to write your lists of used notations as tables. if list are short, than is appropriate use of the tabularx package, otherwise is handy ltablex:



          documentclassarticle
          usepackageltablex

          begindocument
          section*Notations
          Note: Some of these notations appear as a subscript in the thesis work.

              yaou may consider to write your lists of used notations as tables. if list are short, than is appropriate use of the tabularx package, otherwise is handy ltablex:



              documentclassarticle
              usepackageltablex

              begindocument
              section*Notations
              Note: Some of these notations appear as a subscript in the thesis work.

              subsection*Roman upper case letters
              begingroup
              centering
              begintabularxlinewidth@ >hsize=0.1hsizeraggedrightX
              >hsize=0.9hsize X
              @
              M & number of days \
              N & some very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long description what is this \
              OO & number of days \
              PPPP & number of days \
              QQ & number of days \
              RRR & number of days \
              S & number of days
              endtabularx
              endgroup

              subsection*Roman lower case letters
              begingroup
              centering
              begintabularxlinewidth@ >hsize=0.1hsizeraggedrightX

              n & number of days \
              n & some very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long description what is this \
