This could be fixed by adding `show-nonbreak-escape: nil' to tutorial's file local variables. But I think that adding escape characters before non-breaking spaces and hyphens is undesirable everywhere, even in files where some indication for non-breaking space is desirable. Interspersing the text with backslash characters sometimes makes the text almost unreadable. Also this changes relative positions of text characters and the total line lengths, thus breaking text formatting and truncating right-aligned lines when they become too long after adding \'s on display. A better indication for non-breaking spaces and hyphens is the same as for whitespace highlighting enabled with show-trailing-whitespace, i.e. displaying non-breaking spaces and hyphens in a special face with a non-default background color without adding \. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
