Documentation

Modes for which global whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) is automagically turned on.

Global whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) is controlled by the command global-whitespace-mode(var)/global-whitespace-mode(fun).

If nil, means no modes have whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) automatically turned on.

If t, all modes that support whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) have it automatically turned on.

Else it should be a list of major-mode symbol names for which whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) should be automatically turned on. The sense of the list is negated if it begins with not. For example:

   (c-mode c++-mode)

means that whitespace-mode(var)/whitespace-mode(fun) is turned on for buffers in C and C++ modes only.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
