<h3 id="space">The space character in format strings</h3><p>As mentioned above, a plain character in the format string is just
    matched with the next character of the input; however, two characters are
    special exceptions to this rule: the space character (<code class="code"><span class="string">'&nbsp;'</span></code> or ASCII code
    32) and the line feed character (<code class="code"><span class="string">'\n'</span></code
