The new display method uses no less familiar notation. The underlined space looks very like the underscore character used in programming languages to represent a space between inseparable words inside identifiers. > Now, you may dislike this representation, but the fact that you think > your preferred solution "is better than anything proposed so far" > doesn't make that some kind of undisputed fact. [Clearly, because I'm > here disputing it.] I never claimed it to be undisputed fact. On the contrary, in the mail I sent after installing the patch I asked all people to try the new highlighting for some time period with the intention to hear all opinions about it afterwards. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
