Is there a way to make blank spaces (places with no characters on them) have underlines? Sort of emulating the look of a notebook.

@klymilark This seems promising, though it was quite buggy when I tried it so might need some additional tweaking: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/59482/display-a-horizontal-underline-on-every-line

@matt1126 seems like it will, all it does for me is spits out another code block so far. I'll check it out deeper when I'm off work, thank you!

@klymilark you’ll need to install a package (page-line-breaks I think) and run the code in the SO post in the M-: evaluate in the mini buffer; not very intuitive tbh

@matt1126 Yeah, the process I followed was:
Download the package
Copy the main .el file into an empty folder in the elpa/ directory
Open that .el file
Eval the code from the post
Restart emacs

It worked fine in the end, but yeah, it's a bit weird

@klymilark "a bit weird" is the most charitable way you could have described it haha.

Glad it worked though!
