HOWEVER this doesn't work, or at least not automatically. Emacs complains: "The local variables list in foo.c contains values that may not be safe" and marks show-trailing-whitespace as one such variable. Although one can mark it as safe in your local preferences, every emacs user would have to do this.
I've no idea why show-trailing-whitespace should be unsafe.
Hmm, I've got the following in my $HOME/.emacsrc file
(require 'show-wspace) (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'highlight-trailing-whitespace)
Which does the trick for me
But is useless for anyone else unless I also mention that it requires a copy of http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/show-wspace.el in your emacs lisp search path Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
