Thanks Bob. I did mean non-printing characters. I think just space, tab and return.
The problem with replacing with with a character is that of course it is not a space any more, so text would not wrap as normal. I need the user to edit as normal and with normal functionality but see the normally invisible characters. So seems I would need a native solution. :-( On Sat, 8 Dec 2018 at 00:22, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Not natively.
