But now I have a new problem... I can't turn it off... You'd think toggling the mode with M-x global-whitespace-mode would turn it off but it doesn't. I did notice the capitalized WS in the mode line went to lowercase when I toggled global-whitespace-mode... so maybe you can toggle local-whitespace-mode but no... no soap there. Going back to the documentation Tim posted... I finally guessed how to turn it on off.... it doesn't tell you directly but it does tell what to do if local whitespace-mode is off. So you can guess that there is a whitespace-mode you can toggle. Not just a `global-whitespace-mode'. Thanks for sticking with it Tim... in spite of my thick skull.
