<title>Draw Spaces</title>
<p>The <app>Draw Spaces</app> plugin is a simple plugin that can mark spaces,
tabs, and other types of whitespace with a small, visible marker. By making
whitespace visible, you can more easily see how whitespace is used in a
document, and can apply spacing strategies more consistently.</p>
<steps>
<title>To enable the plugin:</title>
<item>
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
<guiseq><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
<gui style="tab">Plugins</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <gui style="menuitem">Draw Spaces</gui> to enable the plugin.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press <gui style="button">Preferences</gui> to set its options.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>Though you will be able to see the markers when you work on a file, the
markers will not be visible when you print a file to paper.</p>
