为什么 \noindent 对 \rlap 和 \llap 有如此大的影响？

Question

如果没有 \noindent，\rlap 和 \llap 似乎每次都会向下移动 \baselineskip。这是故意的吗？

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\begin{document}
\color{red}
\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{blue}
\noindent\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{green}
\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{black}
\noindent\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}
\end{document}

Answer 1

和\rlap都是\llap根据\hbox

\def\rlap#1{\hb@xt@\z@{#1\hss}}
\def\llap#1{\hb@xt@\z@{\hss#1}}

在哪里

\def\hb@xt@{\hbox to}

但是，\hbox不能使用 来开始一个段落。您需要使用\noindent或 之类的命令明确切换到水平模式\leavevmode。（有关更多详细信息，请参阅 TeX by Topic 的第 16.3 节。）

这里的 MWE 行为可能更像您预期的那样：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand\aelap[1]{\makebox[0pt][r]{#1}}
\begin{document}

\color{red}
\leavevmode\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{blue}
\noindent\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\rlap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{green}
\leavevmode\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\color{black}
\noindent\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}\llap{\rule{.25in}{1ex}}

\end{document}
