! @cindex White space in node name
! @cindex Spaces in node name
! Spaces before and after names on the @address@hidden line are ignored,
! but spaces ``inside'' a name are significant.  For example:
! 
! @example
! @@node  foo bar,
! @@node foo bar ,
! @@node  foo bar ,
! @end example
! 
! @noindent all define the same node, @samp{foo bar}.  References to the
! node should all use that name, without the leading or trailing spaces,
! but with the internal spaces.
