Highlight double-spaces (forced line-break)

It would be lovely if one were able to see forced line-breaks created by double-spaces at the end of a line.

I didn't know this was a thing! I was just about to suggest allowing line breaks. Is this a markdown convention? Must admit I don't think it's very intuitive.

Edit: Should have looked at the link!

@animaux This seems to be implemented on the Symphony extension by the way, in case that's what you wanted it for :)

I have added the highlighting + break-sign in the symphony editor extension. because it is not intuitive at all :)

Thing is, this should hardly be used at all. Only for addresses and such. Therefore I think it’s okayish that it’s not very intuitive. When I tell my clients about this I always say this is the hardest thing to understand about markdown which seems reduce markdown-fear a bit.

@animaux Ah, in which case a thanks is in order! :)

I've needed it twice. Both times for addresses!
