According to the documentation (link at the bottom), "The Show/Hide ¶ button turns hidden characters like spaces, paragraph markers, or tab marks on and off." I am looking for a similar tool or feature in LyX. Can any one point it out for me? I couldn't find it. I think LyX only has a toggle for end of paragraph markers: Tools / Preferences / Look & Feel / Display / Mark end of paragraphs It makes no sense to mark the spaces because it has a different meaning for MS Word and TeX, e.g. 7 spaces is the same as 1 space for TeX But LyX is not a TeX source editor. And it can happen in LyX that a *single* space is hard to see. It is explained in the enhancement request I referenced below. (Furthermore, there are environments, even in plain TeX that accept more than one space such as verbatim.) There is also an enhancement request for spaces: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11435 But it hasn't gotten much love yet. You could chime in there with your ideas.
