pygments.filters.VisibleWhitespaceFilter

Convert tabs, newlines and/or spaces to visible characters. Options accepted: `spaces` : string or bool If this is a one-character string, spaces will be replaces by this string. If it is another true value, spaces will be replaced by ``·`` (unicode MIDDLE DOT). If it is a false value, spaces will not be replaced. The default is ``False``. `tabs` : string or bool The same as for `spaces`, but the default replacement character is ``»`` (unicode RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK). The default value is ``False``. Note: this will not work if the `tabsize` option for the lexer is nonzero, as tabs will already have been expanded then. `tabsize` : int If tabs are to be replaced by this filter (see the `tabs` option), this is the total number of characters that a tab should be expanded to. The default is ``8``. `newlines` : string or bool The same as for `spaces`, but the default replacement character is ``¶`` (unicode PILCROW SIGN). The default value is ``False``. `wstokentype` : bool If true, give whitespace the special `Whitespace` token type. This allows styling the visible whitespace differently (e.g. greyed out), but it can disrupt background colors. The default is ``True``. .. versionadded:: 0.8
