hey guys, i was wondering how to visualize whitespace in codemirror 6.
i would like space to show as dots and tabs as little arrows like it is in vscode.
any help will be much appreciated, thank you

It seems like highlightWhitespace might help here.

thank you so much marijn, that’s exactly what i was looking for. can’t believe i didn’t see that one before.
one minor thing i would change is to hide whitespace between words, but that i can probably do on my own now with your code as a basis.
thanks again!
Hi marijn, I search around but do not find any example of how to use highlighWhitespace, do you mind sharing me a snippet so I could use as reference? Currently I am using fromTextArea for creating a codemirror editor. Great thanks!
That suggests you’re using version 5. highlightWhitespace is part of version 6 (which has an entirely new, incompatible API).
Yeah I am using version 5 now so I do not understand how to use it with the doc of version 6. 
But thanks again!
