cke5_formatting_marks

No security coverage
View on drupal.org

Adds a CKEditor 5 toolbar button to toggle visual marks for spaces, non-breaking spaces, paragraph marks, and line breaks in the editing view, helping authors spot invisible formatting characters.

It is similar to what common text editors allow (LibreOffice Writer, Microsoft Word,...) .

Features

This module provides a CKEditor 5 plugin that overlays subtle visual indicators directly in the editing area:

  • Spaces shown as middle dots (·)
  • Non-breaking spaces shown as white squares (▯)
  • Paragraph marks (¶) at the end of each paragraph
  • Line break marks (↵) at the end of soft breaks

The toggle button does not modify the content — marks are visual only and never saved. Toggle them on to review formatting, off to focus on content.

Post-Installation

  1. Go to /admin/config/content/formats and edit the text format(s) where you want the button to appear
  2. Drag the "Formatting Marks" button into the active toolbar
  3. Save the format
  4. In the editor, click the pilcrow (¶) button to show or hide formatting marks
