Re: Forced space

In a text I'm writing, I have this line
 
is \begin{otherlanguage}{russian}???? \end{otherlanguage}\;(rieka),
 
If I don't put the \; in and put a space in instead, there is
no space after compiling. As it is with \;, there is a space,
but now "(rieka)" is highlighted yellow. How come? What is the
best way to force a space where I have that \; ?

Have you tried using "\ "? That is the usual command to enter a space
after a TeX-command so it does not get eaten. Since you don't give a
minimal compilable example, it is difficult to give more specific
advice.
