Summary

Description
English: Depending on the context, spaces and line breaks in the wikitext may or may not affect the rendered page. Especially when editing templates, it is often difficult to see what effects whitespaces have. An extension of syntax highlighting could mark spaces and line breaks that affect formatting. For example ¶ for line breaks and · for spaces could be used, shown in subtle colors. In implementation, there would be a way to toggle the function on and off.
