I'm trying to help someone migrate from winblows to Kubuntu.  They are
used to the features of the text editor Notepad++ which include showing
symbols for whitespace and showing at the end of each line if the
newline is CR or LF or CRLF.  I've found a few posts on the web that
says Kate can do this but none that say how to and I haven't been able
to figure it out.
