Known Issues

Empty lines do not display indent guides

This is by design. Empty lines have no indentation; therefore, they have no indent guides. This is the most accurate way to display document indentation information.

There is also a practical problem. This extension currently uses CodeMirror overlays, which do not have the ability to stylize empty lines. If I can solve this problem, I will implement an option to display a "no-gap" version of indent guides. If you have any solution ideas, please post them in the issue list.
