Ok, so I'm guessing that the number of spaces - in this example -
before and after the dot is insignificant from perspective of the code
(well, perhaps 1 is needed). But... is changing the insides of the
code example just to align it to the next line is reasonable? If
everywhere (I think) there is PARAMETER-ONE_SPACE-DOT-ONE_SPACE-VALUE
perhaps it would be better to stick to that, because otherwise someone
may think that there is an error in the code example.
