Visibility of line feeds, line breaks LF, CR, CR LF

[sphilipp]

Hello,

is there a possiblity to make line feeds and line breaks visible, when i open a XML document in Oxygen Editor 19.0 text mode.

In NOTEPAD++ i can show them (look at the link).

What do i have to do , to have the same view in Oxygen?


Find an example of Oxygen in this ZIP-File:

Thanks

Hi Stefan,

In the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor" page there is a "Whitespaces" section in which you can decide to show markers for various whitespace-related characters.

Hi,

is there any chance to expand the list of characters that are shown? Or add an option to display non-printing characters?
The following shows nothing at all between the "m" and ":" in Oxygen Author but produces an output with a paragraphbreak (Dita output via an external program)

:

There's a U+2029 in between the two characters.

VSCode displays it like this:

I suppose a list that could be used (as a starting point) is already there (Options->Format->XML->Whitespaces)

Hi,

We have an internal issue for this:
EXM-43056 Draw more space characters in the Text/Author edit modes
I added your details to it and if we manage to implement it in a future version we'll update this forum thread.
Maybe to help you with this, in the Oxygen Preferences->Fonts page you can change the "Author" font to be "Monospaced", in this way you should at least see a space where that character is placed.
Or insert that character a a hexadecial entity "
" in the XML document and at least you will see where it is placed.

Hi Radu,

thanks for the response. This is about unintended copy-paste insertion messing with the publication so the Monospace sounds good. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work (Tested in v. 23.1) I set everything to Monospace under Preferences->Fonts but neither in Author nor in Textview there is a space displayed.

Thanks,
