Description

I'd like to view invisible characters like linebreaks and spaces in the editor window. Is there any option available. I can't find it.

cheers

Research direction

Start by examining MacDown's editor settings and options to see whether invisible-character display is already exposed. Define the supported characters, including line breaks and spaces, and consider the work complete when users can enable an option that visibly distinguishes them in the editor window.
