I've just learned,
@dvsDave, that the new code will allow you to type more than one space before a new sentence, but will not *display them*. They're there, you have to backspace over all of them to get rid of them, but it declines to display them. UPDATE: No, it's *any* collection of multiple spaces.
Discarding the "display what I damn tell you", and "two spaces after a period is not only just fine, it's recommended for legibility" arguments... this also impacts the functionality of
ASCII art drawings, which are occasionally useful in forum environs like this.
Oh, and also the "don't store them but not display them, that's evil" argument.
Is there a global
system toggle for "compress multiple spaces"? Can you -- and would you -- turn it off?
