You live in a perfect world where you can do everything with a single
editor using nice GUI. The world is not yet that perfect. How do I use
color when aditing a file using ssh and colorless terminal? What is
the Unicode standard color of NBSP? I do not edit files just on my
computer, I have to support customers, I have to cooperate with
colleagues. they use different platforms, different editors. If they
all use TeX, I know that ~ denotes nonbreakable space. What is a
world-wide platform independent and color independent visible
representation of a nonbreakable space that is clearly distinct from a
normal space?
