There was no way to configure Editor (as late as 5.3 m110) as far as I could
see to show the non-breaking space in a way that satisfied my authors. By
configuring View, you can turn on spaces which then show as tiny dots (no
one over 45 will be able to see them 😉 while the non-breaking spaces will
not. Also, they are a tiny bit thicker on-screen, I believe.
So, I wrote code that would search for non-breaking spaces, wrap the leading
and trailing word in a pub font processing instruction, and updated our
screen stylesheet to display the wrapped text in fuchsia. I also wrote code
to strip out the highlighting.
If you are interested, you can search the Adepters archive (if you are able
to) for the code which I posted. Include the term "nbsp" and "nagai" and
look for a post late in 2010. If you can't turn this up, let me know. I can
dig it up and repost it.
