How can I view hidden characters such as hard returns, tabs and spaces?
Answer 1.
Looking for hidden characters? The Show hidden characters option under "
Edit | Preferences | Editor" can be used to display hidden or whitespace characters in the editor. When in a hurry, the "
View | Editor | Hidden Characters" main menu option can be used to temporarily toggle hidden characters on and off.
Answer 2.
When the "
Show Hidden Characters" option isn't enough, HTML-Kit's "
Mini Hex Viewer" feature can be used to view the hex value of the character at the cursor and the two characters next to it. Select "
View | Editor | Mini Hex Viewer" from the main menu and watch the "
Status Bar" while moving the cursor from character to character.
