Show spaces between words

line-spacingspacing

I write and compile in Overleaf (Latex). In Microsoft Word there is an option called "Show All", in order to see if there is more than 1 space between words. I would like to ask, if there is something similar in Overleaf (Latex), in order to delete more space there that it should not be. Thanks.

You need nothing of that kind, because TeX is smarter than Word. Let's show it.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

One two three four end.

One two  three   four    end.

\end{document}

With TeX any sequence of spaces (and tabs) is normalized to a single space.

Here's with “what you see is what you get”. No, thanks.

A little advantage is being able to make some pictures like I did here.
