#whitespace.vim

This plugin provides a commands to highlight or strip extraneous whitespace at the ends of lines.

##Installation

You can use your favourite installation method. With Tim Pope's pathogen it is simply a question of cloning the whitespace.vim repository into your vim bundle directory.

    cd ~/.vim/bundle
    git clone git://github.com/heindsight/whitespace.vim

##Usage

Use the :WSHighlightOn, :WSHighlightOff and :WSHighlightToggle commands to turn on, off or toggle highlighting of whitespace at ends of lines.

Use :WSStrip to remove trailing whitespace from a range of lines:

    :[range]WSStrip

##Customising

Whitespace highlighting uses the ExtraWhitespace highlight group. By default this is linked to the standard Error group. The highlight command can be used to customize highlighting. For example:

    :highlight ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=Green
