show whitespace

[mjp]

Are there plans for Web Author to support the "Show tab/nbsp/eol/eof" feature? Especially in codeblocks, it would be nice to be able to see spaces in author view.

Hello,
For your use case, we already have a feature request registered (WA-4518 - Display spaces in Author Mode)
As a workaround, you can try to create custom font and combining it with the default font for any element:

Code: Select all

@font-face {
    font-family: Arial_spacedot;
    src: url(Arial_spacedot.ttf);
    unicode-range: U+1780-17FF, U+200B-200C, U+25CC;
  }
  * { font-family: Arial_spacedot,Arial; }

Once we have a solution in this regard, we will notify you here on the forum.

Best,
Cosmin
