I’ve been using vscode for years now and recently I’ve been having this issue where there’s random extra spaces in lines even after html tags are closed. Anyone ever seen this problem before?
Please excuse the code I had to use. I’m building an email.
White space problems are very common. Avoiding problems like this is one of the reasons to use a code formatter or beautifier, or pre-commit hooks that remove trailing whitespace.
Cool I’ll look into why my beautifier isn’t working
One thing you can do is look at your code in a hex editor to see what that data is. There are a lot of white space characters that are not 0x20
Does a global replace of
\w+$to nothing count as a beautifier?
There’s a setting to trim all trailing whitespace on save so that’s how I avoid committing trailing whitespace. It seems to be separate from any beautifier plugins I use, it’s under text editor > files > trim trailing whitespace. I also enable trim final newlines and insert final newline which ensures there’s only 1 new line at the end of files.
Will check that out, thanks
