So how do I get it to show up? Use the whitespace.el stuff. Yeah well I read the whitespace.el stuff. And it is way over my head and confusing. All I want to do is make that D*MN LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK character show up, without making a whole lot of other **** show up. As you can see in http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs I already tried a whole lot of times before. As you see I already use show-trailing-whitespace t, which I'm quite happy with. Now all that is needed is to make LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK show up. I suppose for the rest of my life I will need to stare at a "WS" in the modeline, just to catch this character. OK, so be it. So how to make LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK visible, without a whole lot of other side effects? Why can't I just assign some font symbol to it, a funny arrow or something, so I can be aware of it lurking in my files? Yes that is what I want. I don't want to use that whitespace jazz. I want to be able to assign something I can see to it. So I will send this to the enhancements request department. I mean there can even be a symbol assigned to line wraps etc. which are zero bytes big. Well there is this three byte big piece of s*it hiding in my files with emacs in cahoots with the ethno-backwards writing conspiracy to keep it hidden, with middle-east funding surely!
