For my documentation, I want escape special characters.
Example :
.. code-block:: terminal
$ php bin/console test:user
Press <return> for continue
For Sphinx, it's an external URL <return> and I want escape that.
Screenshot :
See Escaping Mechanism:
A backslash followed by any character (except whitespace characters in non-URI contexts) escapes that character. The escaped character represents the character itself, and is prevented from playing a role in any markup interpretation. The backslash is removed from the output.
To answer your question, you can use various markup techniques.
Escape the opening and closing brackets.
Press \<return\> for continue
Use inline literal markup.
Press ``<return>`` for continue
Use semantic markup with the kbd role:
Press :kbd:`<return>` for continue
IMO, the last option is the most appropriate for this situation. The first option is the least appropriate.

I want to have Diacritical r in my wygwam editor's special character list. I have some special characters at the moment but not Řř. Can anyone tell me how to enable/add this please?
Current special character list
Thanks.
With CKEditor I need to give the user keyboard entry of bullets, left-double-quotes and right-double-quotes.
I already provide the user with numbered and bulletted lists, they want stand-alone bullets.
When I say left-double-quote, I mean “ “ equivalent.
When I say right-double-quote, I mean ” ” equivalent.
The user wants the ability to type these characters directly into a CKEditor textarea.
How should I configure CKEditor to do this?
I solved this problem during the export to IDML by converting the quotes (""") to their respective ” and “ (&#nnnnn; equivalent) by evaluating the characters next to the quote.
So the user may input ", and I output the desired quote character in it's place.
Very close to reverse of this question. I prefer coding with 2-whitespace indentation, but need to have files indented with tabs to align with project convention. What I would like to do is preferably automatically convert 2 spaces upon entry to tab symbol in Notepad++ and have the editor configured to tab length of 2.
A possible manual way for doing this could be Edit->Blank Operations->Space to TAB but this converts all of my spaces to tabs, even those of length 1 - which are, for example, spaces between function arguments, not just leading spaces.
In a perfect case scenario I'm trying to achieve formatting style as described in this question, but with typing just spaces and the editor taking care of the rest.
I'm on Notepad++ 6.0, but willing to upgrade if this helps
Let me complete the answer of Ari Okkonen to add a workaround to the problem commented by Sergii Zaskaleta of mixed tabs and spaces at the beginning of the line.
Settings->Preferences->Tab Settings->Tab size: 2 (if not already)
Edit->Blank Operations->Space to TAB (Leading)
Select a block of lines of text with the problem of mixed spaces and tabs. Press [Tab] and [Shift]+[Tab] to add and remove a tab from each line. In the process, the leading spaces had been converted to tabs.
A manual way that seems to work: After having edited the file before saving you may try (Works in Notepad++ v6.8.3):
Settings->Preferences->Tab Settings->Tab size: 2 (if not already)
Edit->Blank Operations->Space to TAB (Leading)
When I'm using ShowText's whitespace (spacebar spaces) (in Block Composer), it only works in middle of the texts but not at the beginning of the text. I assumed it is because PDFClown do trim the whitespace characters.
So is there special character I can use in place of whitespace so it won't get trimmed?
Yes, leading whitespace is purposely trimmed off: if you need to indent your paragraph then use the BlockComposer.ShowBreak(SizeF) method specifying a horizontal offset (for example blockComposer.ShowBreak(new SizeF(10,0))).
I can use VIM to input these color control chars by "Ctrl-V, Esc" then it will show me ^[ as a special leading char for color control chars sequence.
How could I do this in Textmate?
Thanks
You can select those from the character viewer (Menu Edit -> Special Characters, then search for 'escape'), but I think you'd be better off using an escaped form of that character, e.g. \033 in Bash or \x1b in PHP. That, of course, would depend on what kind of document you're editing.
