0:00:04Oxygen XML Web Author 28 adds a new option  to display whites space markers in the visual
0:00:09editor and in text editing mode. This is  especially helpful when trying to manage
0:00:14space characters in code blocks. In our example,  the CSS code in the code block has some peculiar
0:00:20indentations. We want to see what kind of space  characters are present. To activate the feature,
0:00:26we'll go to the user drop-down menu in the  top right and do preferences. And we'll
0:00:32enable the show white space marks option  and click apply. Notice that the various
0:00:37space characters have distinct markers.  Our example has some space characters,
0:00:43tab characters, and new line characters. In  our case, we don't want tab characters in our
0:00:50code block. So we can easily delete them since we  can clearly see them with the new option enabled.
