title: Is there a way to view whitespace in SQL Server Management Studio 2016?
body: <p>It doesn't look to me like there's any menu option which enables whitespace to be viewed in the text editor.</p>
  
  <p>There's a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2760124/is-there-any-way-to-view-whitespace-in-the-query-editor-for-sql-server-managemen" title="Is there any way to view whitespace in the query editor for SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005?">here</a>, however this is referring to SSMS Express 2005 . An answer to this question shows how whitespace viewing can be enabled by editing registry values. However, i don't have that path specified in my registry. (I've checked each dir in the SQL Server registry and can't find a 'Visible Whitespace' entry)</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>SQL Server Management Studio 2016 (v 13.0.15500.91)</code></p>
  
  <p>Surely there must be a way to achieve this. It's not really required but I would like my settings to match my other versions of SSMS.</p>
