Hi Emil,

Well, here is how I interpret it. You tested the file sage/misc/
citation.pyx and one of the examples inside of that file failed.
Comparing what was expected and what you got, I think that there no
whitespace error : the results are really different.

Maybe the term "whitespace error" leads to misinterpretation and could
be improved. Personally, I though "whitespace errors" was for when the
only difference between the expected result and the obtained result
are whitespaces at the end of the line. But, I think I never obtained
any failed doctest because of whitespace errors. Do anybody ever got
real whitespaces error? So maybe the sentence could be :

"If the expected result and the one that is got of a failed doctest
look the same, it might be because of whitespace error: see the file /
root/.sage//tmp/.doctest_citation.py "

Cheers,

Sébastien Labbé
