Sublime Text 2 as block highlighting in emacs

Question

Is there an emacs plugin that creates these beautiful vertical lines for code blocks, for example in Sublime Text 2? (See Attached Screenshots, what I mean).

Answer 1

Please see the indent selection:

Unfortunately, the current version is very simple, and it draws personal columns instead of thin rows, so it does not look very attractive. But at least this is the beginning.

I do not use it by default - if I am lost, I do Mx highlight-indentation .

Answer 2

This is not exactly the same, but you get similar benefits from the features mentioned here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VlineMode

Vline can use a thin line (or face). The selection of the column marker remains placed (does not move with the cursor), and you can select any number of columns, but it uses a face, not a thin line.
