Question

Want Viewable En and Em spaces

Is there a way to make Arbortext Editor show em and en spaces as a special tag or an entity tag rather than just as the space at its correct width? I know when I use Format>Touchup>Hard Unbreakable Space from the menu, I get a visible _hardspace in the document view. I need some visual cue for ems and ens so at a glance I know which is being used. Thanks, Rita Graham

    You may want to try the following: Open the command line with 'Tools > Preferences > Window > Command Line' and insert 'tag_display -global -full _en' and 'tag_display -global -full _em' Good Luck, Andreas

    After inserting the command, I get an error: "[A11464] Unrecognized tag name: _em" Since the Em space is not a tag, it can't display anything. Besides, typing a command in the window will only solve the problem for one document. I need it to display for all documents.

    Well, to be honest, I don't know what you mean with "em and en spaces". I'm actually modifing the editor, not using it. If you provide me with some "how to insert such spaces", i may be able to come up with a solution. Besides, the step from one document to all documents is really really tiny.
