Stallman =09* xdisp.c (get_next_display_element): Display codes 8a0 and 8ad =09specially as `\ ' and `\-'. This breaks my Wikipedia mode pretty badly. While I understand the chang= e for non-breaking space, escaping the dash like this looks really improper with variable-pitch fonts. Can we back out the dash-thing or make it customizable in some way? I also had non-breaking space highlighted with a special face that had a very-light-gray background (the "normal" being white), so that they were recognizable, yet the text was perfectly readable. Maybe it is possible = to build it into Emacs somewhere on a low level? I.e. non-breaking space would be displayed without the backslash, but with a different face. I'm not arguing about defaults here, but I really want some variables to control these things. Paul
