--- Comment #3 from Ulrich Windl <Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de> ---
An enhancement to comment #0:
> Both space and non-breaking space use the same dot character (ascii 183)
> when formatting marks are enabled and it would be useful to differentiate
> the non-breaking space with a different character. It would be useful to
> stay with a dot character, so maybe a period (ascii 46) or alternatively the
> degree sign (ascii 176) like MS Word.

Other spaces (like Unicode "EM SPACE") produce no formatting mark at all. Maybe
these could be displayed as a "empty tray-like symbol", and as there are many
spaces, maybe some explanation when hovering with the mouse over the mark could
be used (that could be extended to the existing marks as well).
Or, maybe, do it like BabelPad: Explain the character in the status line.
