Extension Settings

The extension offers the following settings for customization:

  • render-special-chars.include: An array of UTFx codes or characters that will be prominently displayed.

  • render-special-chars.except: An array of characters specified in UTFx or as individual characters that will not be prominently displayed, regardless of whether they are included in the "include" array.

  • render-special-chars.border: A CSS string that defines the border style for the highlighted characters.

  • render-special-chars.borderColor: A color code for the border of highlighted characters.

  • render-special-chars.color: A color code for the text of highlighted characters.

  • render-special-chars.backgroundColor: A color code for the background of highlighted characters.

The text color, border color, and background color are all taken from the editorUnicodeHighlight theme colors by default. Specifically, the text color and border color is taken from the editorUnicodeHighlight.border, and the background color is taken from the editorUnicodeHighlight.background.
