whitespace-mode

[David Reno]

Wow, not a very active group! Still, I'll try!

I'm looking for the best way to modify prelude to have a different whitespace-line-column based on type of file. It seems to be set to 80 for everything.

However, with some file types (e.g. org files) I prefer to type paragraphs and allow word-wrapping to occur at the end of the line. In those cases, I get highlighting that the line is too long. I was thinking just to set whitespace-line-column to 10000 or something like that for those types of files.

The kicker is that I find that when I set this there's no effect on the buffer until I toggle whitespace-mode.

Any suggestions?

Hey there!

Yeah, not the most active group for sure. Seems email is out of fashion these days. :-) I haven't dug deep in whitespace mode, but based on your experience and what was reported here https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/issues/1300

it seems to me that whitespace-mode reads the config variables only on startup. I guess one approach might be to enable whitespace-mode in the individual major modes instead of in prog-mode's hook.
