Customizable symbol to represent spaces and new paragraphs #52

If someone has to reduce max-word-length to something like three letters, it may become hard to tell when a word has ended. Dashes can help, but that would reduce the letters to two letters for fragments, since the dash would take up one of those letters. A customized word length of one letter would be impossible with dashes.

Instead, the user could activate a feature that would replace spaces with a given symbol (a big, solid square by default). The user could customize the symbol, possibly including multiple symbols instead of just one. The default to indicate a paragraph cannot be two space symbols if the custom max-word-length has been reduced to one character.

This may also be helpful to those that simply have difficulty reading, trouble distinguishing the separation between words.
