| 4493 | To avoid the if/pause/then, how about: Values containing whitespace must be enclosed in quotes: | |
| 4497 | s/because of/due to/ | |
| 4498 | How about: expansion deals with whitespace. When <literal>OPT_VARS= foo=bar baz</literal> is expanded, the variable ends up containing two strings, <literal>foo=bar</literal> and <literal>baz</literal>. But the submitter probably intended there to be only one string, <literal>foo=bar baz</literal>. Quoting the value prevents whitespace from being used as a delimiter.</para> | |
