| whitespace-toggle-options is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in
| `whitespace.el'.
| 
| (whitespace-toggle-options ARG)
| 
| Toggle local `whitespace-mode' options.
| 
| If local whitespace-mode is off, toggle the option given by ARG
| and turn on local whitespace-mode.
| 
| If local whitespace-mode is on, toggle the option given by ARG
| and restart local whitespace-mode.
| 
| Interactively, it reads one of the following chars:
| 
|   CHAR	MEANING
|   (VIA FACES)
|    t	toggle TAB visualization
|    s	toggle SPACE and HARD SPACE visualization
|    r	toggle trailing blanks visualization
|    l	toggle "long lines" visualization
|    L	toggle "long lines" tail visualization
|    n	toggle NEWLINE visualization
|    e	toggle empty line at bob and/or eob visualization
|    C-i	toggle indentation SPACEs visualization (via `indent-tabs-mode')
|    I	toggle indentation SPACEs visualization
|    i	toggle indentation TABs visualization
|    C-a	toggle SPACEs after TAB visualization (via `indent-tabs-mode')
|    A	toggle SPACEs after TAB: SPACEs visualization
|    a	toggle SPACEs after TAB: TABs visualization
|    C-b	toggle SPACEs before TAB visualization (via `indent-tabs-mode')
|    B	toggle SPACEs before TAB: SPACEs visualization
|    b	toggle SPACEs before TAB: TABs visualization
| 
|   (VIA DISPLAY TABLE)
|    T	toggle TAB visualization
|    S	toggle SPACEs before TAB visualization
|    N	toggle NEWLINE visualization
| 
|    x	restore `whitespace-style' value
|    ?	display brief help
| 
| Non-interactively, ARG should be a symbol or a list of symbols.

|    spaces		toggle SPACE and HARD SPACE visualization
|    trailing		toggle trailing blanks visualization
|    lines		toggle "long lines" visualization

|    indentation::tab	toggle indentation SPACEs visualization
|    indentation::space	toggle indentation TABs visualization
|    space-after-tab		toggle SPACEs after TAB visualization
|    space-after-tab::tab		toggle SPACEs after TAB: SPACEs visualization
|    space-after-tab::space	toggle SPACEs after TAB: TABs visualization
|    space-before-tab		toggle SPACEs before TAB visualization
|    space-before-tab::tab	toggle SPACEs before TAB: SPACEs visualization
|    space-before-tab::space	toggle SPACEs before TAB: TABs visualization
| 
|    tab-mark		toggle TAB visualization
|    space-mark		toggle SPACEs before TAB visualization
|    newline-mark		toggle NEWLINE visualization
