I tried a little bit with your styles.css. How can I supress the line breaks and the single spaces? How can I color the double spaces?

[ebullient]

Make sure you've updated the plugin and have checked settings and what they do (toggle them on and off, if you have an editor open in the background, you should see the changes).

I've just updated, and will shortly release, a small modification to styles. Your snippet should be able to redefine the following:

body {
  --line-end: '¬';
  --line-break: '↲';
}

If you want to remove the line endings, change that to an empty value ('')

[merlinuwe]

Thanks for the new release and this code snippet, but your code snippet with empty values ('') (or some of mine) seems to slow down considerately editing in Obsidian - not always reproducable.

This is my css code so far. can you please have a look at it? (Perhaps, you can use this for a documentation.)

.cm-line .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="·"]  {

    background-color: transparent;
}

.cm-line .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="··"]:not(:first-child)  {

/* _Setzt_ die Zeilenumbrüche */

  --line-break: '↲';
}

/* _Entfernt_ die Zeilenumbrüche */

body {

  --line-break: '';
}

Some other things I found:

Is it possible to avoid the css here?

And at the beginning of code?

And in tables?

[ebullient]

This plugin always shows leading whitespace.

For most indentation, it's an offset of 4 (that's how CodeMirror works, and I'm using the data values they define).

No leading indent is required for lists in YAML headers, you could just remove the leading whitespace (still valid syntax):

tags:
- tag

Or, you could try an additional rule using .cm-hmd-frontmatter, like this:

.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-line .cm-hmd-frontmatter .cm-indent-spacing .cm-highlightSpace:before {
  content: ""
}

Leading/trailing whitespace is generally what I want to see, which is why the plugin exists.

For me, this seems to be the solution:

/* Verhindere Formatierung in Markdown-Tabellen */
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) {
    --line-end: none;
    --line-break: none;
    white-space: normal;
    overflow-wrap: break-word;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    hyphens: auto;
}

/* Leerzeichen - nicht in Tabellen anwenden */
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="·"],
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-hmd-internal-link .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="·"] {
    background-color: transparent !important;
}

.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="··"]:not(:first-child) {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="···"]:not(:first-child),
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-highlightSpace[data-display="····"]:not(:first-child),
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-highlightSpace[data-display^="····"]:not(:first-child) {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;
}

/* Interne Links und Klammern - nicht in Tabellen anwenden */
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-hmd-internal-link {
    text-decoration: none;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #00A9DD;
}

.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-hmd-internal-link .cm-highlightSpace[data-display^="··"] {
    background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

/* Klammernpaare um wiki-Links */
/*
.cm-line:not(.HyperMD-table-row) .cm-formatting-link {
    background-color: rgba(0, 128, 255, 0.3);
}
*/

(You can use this as an example or use it in any way.)

Thanks a lot for your help.

I've redone the settings panel, and added a few more toggles for frontmatter and codeblocks... but I think you should keep doing what you're doing, if it works for you. ;)
