Depicting Spaces

["John J. Gardiner" <john -at- johngardiner -dot- com>]

I am developing docs that include examples of code. These code snippets 
include very important spaces among other characters. The number of 
successive spaces is important too. My client has asked that I find a means 
to indicate that a specific number spaces exist in the code via some sort 
of symbol, such as an underscore. So an example of code would look like 
this in the doc:

codecode_code__code___

Obviously, users would need to know that the underscore is not used in the 
code, but simply represents a space. Does anyone have any suggestions of 
how to handle this effectively in docs?
