Hey! I just tested both of your approaches with Kristall: > I was about to recommend the zero-width space, and I even created a > document for this: > > gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/escape.gemini > > but I did notice that when the text is selected, the zero-width space > is also selected (as it should). https://mq32.de/public/05851bad5b5e23d9e24bcaa7f259ab6de55c17d0.png Looks okay, works as expected >I have a second file > > gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/escape2.gemini > > that uses " \b" (space, backspace character) which didn't work with > cut-n-paste (at least on Firefox on Mac OS-X) but if I viewed the > resulting file in a terminal and then did a cut-n-paste, the output > was as expected. https://mq32.de/public/2a35ca5e121d2373f9390315c4857dd58c198ca8.png I think the zero-width space solution is okay, using '<SPACE><BACKSPACE>' is not, as it's not rendered correctly in anything that is not a plain terminal: vi, vim, and nano display that file as ' ^H' gedit will display ' ?' where ? is a replacement character: https://mq32.de/public/be09184d3c095251bf2f31ad2bd0685a8a2f0741.png castor displays the same replacement character: https://mq32.de/public/408e8c8b1fdc92c70d601c6def64bb5121d64754.png Regards - xq
