I want globally enable whitespace-mode. I have tried this in my .emacs:
(require 'whitespace)
(setq-default whitespace-style '(face trailing lines empty indentation::space))
(setq-default whitespace-line-column 80)
(setq global-whitespace-mode 1)
(whitespace-mode 1)
but without success... I able to enable it via M+x whitespace-mode, but I want it to enable it globally... Any suggestions? I am using GNU Emacs 23.3.1 .
