In addition to what was said about 'list' and 'listchars', to track
indentation you could also use the 'cursorcolumn' option, see

:help 'cursorcolumn'
:help 'cursorline'
:help hl-CursorColumn
:help hl-CursorLine

Personally I use

set cuc cul

in my vimrc, and

hi CursorColumn term=underline cterm=underline guibg=#F4F4F4
hi! link CursorLine CursorColumn

in my homemade colorscheme (a very light grey in the GUI so as to be
visible but not too distracting on a white field).

Best regards,
Tony.
