Why is there a space after the <= sign here: P(Z{\leq}z)
What am I doing wrong?

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.– Community BotOct 2, 2022 at 10:34

1Looks correct to me. We're going to need more information about your document.– QrrbrbirlbelOct 2, 2022 at 10:45

If you have
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
P(Z{\leq}z)
\end{document}
You get an error
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.5 P(Z{\leq
}z)
?
! Extra }, or forgotten $.
l.5 P(Z{\leq}
z)
?
Never ignore errors, TeX will recover enough to check more of the document, but not make sensible output.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$P(Z{\leq}z)$
\end{document}
is error free and makes

1Maybe it's time to make
-halt-on-errorthe default with no way to disable it, given that most editors and things like Overleaf display the PDF even though there were errors. Oct 2, 2022 at 12:12 -
1@HenriMenke since last week overleaf has an option to stop on first error and show the log, so gradually things get better. latex's default of course has always been to halt. Oct 2, 2022 at 12:20

1Also,
\leqprobably shouldn’t be braced if we want the correct spacing.– GausslerOct 2, 2022 at 12:34 -
@Gaussler possibly, but then the question title would have been "missing space before" not "unwanted space after" Oct 2, 2022 at 14:05

@Gaussler -- I don't understand what the expression means, but it seems that the parentheses indicate that what's inside is a condition, and not an ordinary relation where the spacing would be wider. I would consider this equivalent to the appearance of this expression in a sub/superscript, where the spacing is compressed. Oct 2, 2022 at 14:36
