Very subjective but am I the only one who wishes that the spaces replaced with underscores for clarity picked a character that's easier to count consecutive runs of? Every time I see ____ I need to highlight part of the string to figure out how many underscores it has.

Although it was easy to read in the text editor, it becomes difficult to read several characters when viewed in a browser because multiple underscores are connected.

Since we are using ---> to represent TAB, how about using . to represent spaces?
