[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62417] 'format' errors on names with spaces when calling with function form

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #62417 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #11:

I think a doc change makes sense, since we go to the trouble of specifying all
of our formats with spaces.  Attached patch adds the following toward the end
of the format docstring:


When using the functional form of @code{format}, option strings cannot
contain
spaces.  Format options with spaces must be specified with spaces removed or
as multiple inputs, for example, as @code{format("shorte")} or
@code{format("short", "e")}.


bug #62431 created to capture the 'a = format' item.
