Make all unbreakable spaces of the same Color_latex color
Of course, this means that negative spaces cannot be recognized
anymore.
I did not mean to commit this yet, but it is a good occasion to
discuss the issue of space color. I can revert that if needed.
I am not sure what was the logic of colors right now.
A wild guess on the logic:
There are two visual dimensions at which spaces are distinguished:
color (red/blue) and height (high/low)
high/blue: positive (normal) spaces
high/red: negative spaces
It makes sense to me that these spaces fall into one category (high)
and that positive/negative is distinguished as blue/red.
Then there are two more spaces left:
low/red: protected
low/blue: interword
To distinguish them from the other spaces they are low. To distinguish
them from each other (and don't introduce new colors) they are red/blue.
I don't find the last red/blue distinction for special spaces nice
because it is used for negative space too and the high/low distinction
is hard to see. Instead for these special spaces, there could be a a
(blue) tilde (˜), as used in LaTeX, on the middle or bottom of the line
for a protected space instead of the "space-box". I am not sure what
would be a good symbol for the interword space though: maybe also the
latex symbol (\) or a (blue) bullet (• or ◦), as used commonly to mark a
normal space, on the middle or bottom. Though I am not sure whether
those symbols interfere with some other symbols (like linguistic ones or
so). Others might know.
ps. Also, a symbol works here because these special spaces don't need to
be stretched.
