I use gnuemacs 18.53. I am looking for a way to change how characters are translated for display. For example, non-printing characters show up as either ^letter for control characters or \octal for meta-characters. I'd like to be able to control this process for all characters so I can, for example, display whitespace visibly (spaces become .s, tabs become -s etc.), or display binary files in a readable format (everything shows up as two hex digits). Is this possible from elisp, or has someone come up with something similar? Thanks muchly, Scott - - - - - - - - - - Scott Draves | Space...
