I'll try to clean these up.

I think the general preference is to use tabs for alignment, not
spaces, so I'll try to clean these up in the next version.

See my comment back to Boqun Feng on the same point.

The debate rages in the broader world of writing about using one
space vs. two spaces. :-)   I'm still old school on this point, and use two
spaces out of decades of habit, particularly with monospaced fonts,
though I'm probably not 100% consistent.
